Taming the Beast: CMS integration on the desktop with CIFS, Office, Dreamweaver and anything else

CMS: Alfresco

Thursday - 4:15pm - Thursday - 5:15pm

Description:

We will talk implementation details and demonstrate the desktop integration possibilities with Alfresco's abstract file systems. Others can do FTP and WebDAV, we can also look just like a Windows or NFS share - and that gives a whole new range of options for user interaction.

Scriptable "virtual" Windows executables can do server-side CMS functions, providing a zero-install solution without relying on the web browser.

We'll show how the CIFS emulation coupled with Alfresco's web virtualization can make working with standard web design applications on a web site an absolute breeze: edit directly and preview instantly.

We'll also open up the details of our Microsoft Office add-in: use CMS features to do all the hardwork and only do minimal Microsoft-specific coding.
