Customizing and Extending Umbraco

This chapter is about customizing and extending Umbraco. There are many examples of doing this because almost every project needs some kind of customization beyond what’s built in. But it’s therefore also tricky to provide examples that do not get too complex and obscure for an intermediate-level book.

I am keen to get feedback from readers about the Umbraco CMS content in this book. Please either raise an issue in the book’s GitHub repository or leave a message in the Discord channel. I want to hear if you use Umbraco or other third-party platforms, and if I should go even deeper into Umbraco or cover something else.

This chapter will cover the following topics:

• Techniques for customizing and extending Umbraco
• Customizing Umbraco behavior using settings
• Working with MVC views and Razor syntax
• The UmbracoHelper class
