The last few versions of Alchemy have allowed you to update it’s software directly within the CMS.  As we make improvements to the API and new functionality, it is key to update to the later versions.  To show you how simple this process it, i’ve made a quick recording to walk through the process.
I’ve been keeping a little notepad file on my machine for a while some of common code snippets that help when building SDL Tridion Gui / Alchemy extensions. I thought it would be great to share them with the community in the hope that they can help someone, and others can contribute.
This years SDL Tridion User Group in Ohio is a wrap. SDL came to present their road map for the Tridion platform. I presented some updates to Alchemy and a number of plugins that are under development.
Recently I had the pleasure of traveling to Portugal for the SDL Web Most Valued Professional (MVP) retreat.
