Sitecore Community Meetup #6 Review

2 weeks ago we had another Sitecore User Group meetup in Cluj-Napoca.

I was  nice evening where we gathered and talked about some interesting subjects.

Fist we kicked off with JSS and Marketing Automation presented by our friends from USA: Corey Smith https://twitter.com/sitecorey and Rick Bauer https://twitter.com/Sitecordial. Focusing on developers, this session provided a high-level understanding of what the end product of Sitecore Marketing Automation should look like from a marketer’s perspective based on real-world use cases. Then we pop open the hood and show how it was achieved using JSS, including tips, tricks, and lessons learned. This presentation was online and we recorded it so you can watch it latter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiBpVIML43o .

Second we had Vlad Iobagiu https://twitter.com/SitecoreClimber and he showed us how to Extend Commerce Engine in Sitecore. He made as well a live demo and he promised that he will try to blog more about Sitecore Commerce.

Last presentation, by Sebastian Tecsi https://twitter.com/sebastiantecsi it was of SUGCON Europe 2019 follow up. Where we talked about some selections of presentations from SUGCON Europe 2019.

Our meetup photos are published here http://bit.ly/2wRUoyD .
