I have started looking in Orchard CMS a week ago. When it comes to doing anything on my Orchard website using the Admin dashboard, things look pretty promising. But when it comes to inducing a feature say create a Navigation menu and add a vertical sub menu to it,using the code, I just lose track. I am not able to find any kind of help regarding the technical(code level) features available with Orchard. I have gone through the PluralSight videos as well. But beyond that, nothing.
So, could anyone please provide any links or any samples they might have created so that I get some kind of guidance.
Thanks in Advance.

I am a web developer who will be starting Sharepoint development and hasn't used Sharepoint much at all from an end user or developer side of things. I am looking for a training class to ramp up on it so I can be a better developer and make more informed architecture decisions. I found this course https://www.pluralsight.com/paths/sharepoint-2016-foundations. Any other ideas?
Im gonna be straight forward with you and tell you that a training class will not take you far for SharePoint Development and are boring as heck.
They will help you understand the basic structure and piece together basic ideas of lists/libraries and what not. This will not help you as developer.
Best bet is to tune to peoples blogs and Microsoft Office Dev community.
SharePoint Maven is great for you giving you a run down on what best practices are and he is pretty current. A lot of good content that deals with on-prem and sharepoint online/office365

Marcs blog has recently gear itself more toward O365 bet there is a lot of good content if youre willing to dig.

If youre stuck on SP16 on-prem I would stear clear of SPFx for now. They dont update it as reguarly as the SPFx for online, still using Node 8. That being said still check it out. But another alternative is using react/angular/vue apps inside content editors leveraging the SharePoint API. I do this whenever I can. SPjeff introduced me to this and I can't thank him enough.

Lots of good stuff here.

I dont know any good resources for navigating SharePoint designer. I just learned as I went along. Google will be your best friend in this situation.
If youre going to be doing online work. Check out the Microsoft Dev center.
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/blogs/
Main points are to tune yourself in to SharePoint happenings and updates. The community for on-prem is shrinking so reach out to the blogs as much as possible. Like anything else you just have to dive in.
I'm MVC .Net Developer and just a beginner in Xamarin.ios. I want to implement side bar menu slider in my app but I'm not understanding how to design it in storyboard. I've gone through some links as follows.
https://components.xamarin.com/view/sidebarnavigation
https://github.com/TheEightBot/Xamarin.SideMenu
Please provide me some helpful links and suggestions for it.
Any help is appreciated. Thank You
The best way to do this is to use the split view controller. When you create the new xamarin ios project you should select that as the template. You will need to understand UITableviews to create the navigation pane, but there are plenty of resources on that.
If you want a more customizable option I would recommend looking at syncfusion which is free to use for small organizations and developers. Here is a link to there site on how to create a custom navigation pane: https://www.syncfusion.com/products/xamarin-ios/navigationdrawer
Hope this helps. If you would like more specific info, comment and let me know. Xamarin can be kind of difficult to get into but it's a great way to build apps once you get used to it.
I have been given a requirement to create a layout for a new feature/functionality of a website. I want those reviewing the design to get an idea of both the functionality and feel of how it will look juxtaposed on the existing website. Below is an example of what I am trying to do. I'd appreciate if anyone get me started on this. I don't want to recommendations for tools as much as I want ideas on how would approach this.
following the tutorials on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq480A0pgqc&list=PL0-GOAU3tpMYm0F1CHYP5_egk0mmAGMab for orchard cms.
Although all tutorials I find are using the dashboard to change the appearance of the site.
Is this the norm? I would like to learn to work from VS for this but cant find much on it....
any advice?
thanks
If you are looking for a starting point I would recommend Skywalker's excellent tutorial series. If you need to do it in orchard, it is in this series.

On themes - they are changed from within Orchard, but developed outside it. VS is not necessary, but gives good intelli-sense on razor views.
The correct place to start on writing a new theme is here: http://docs.orchardproject.net/Documentation/Writing-a-new-theme
I need to create advanced search functionality for my Alfresco website to search by custom metadata.
Does Alfresco provide existing functionality for an advanced search or will I have to code this using a new WQS page with a search form and webscripts?
If anyone knows this it would be a great help, don't want to reinvent the wheel and all that :) Thanks.
Given this information it is hard to tell how much effort it is to implement, but it sounds this could be done in a few hours - assuming you have a skilled developer.
Anyways, I would definitely not recommend to build a website based on quickstart unless you really feel comfortable coding "the Alfresco way" - that is Spring Surf and Alfresco Share. Of course you'll need some knowledge about how to code for the Repo as well. Keep in mind that quickstart as a best practice example is meant for educational purposes. Building on top of it most likely involves forking and starting your customization from there on. Before you decide to go this route, make sure a decent amount of your requirements are covered by quickstart.
I am now developing a workflow search in alfresco. For me, I have to create a new page like alfresco advanced search. Here is Share Advanced Search http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Share_Advanced_Search customizing sample.
Here is explanation about alfresco search. http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Search
I hope this may help you.
