In this post I’ll discuss the process of moving the content and the files from my wife’s WordPress site to the Strapi system I setup in the previous post. I threw this together mostly in one afternoon, so it’s very crude, and very much tailored to her site and content. You might be able to re-use parts of it, feel free, it’s on GitHub.
Installing strapi on Ubuntu 18.04 (with MySQL, Nginx, S3 file uploads and database backups)
In this post, I document my step by step install of strapi on an Ubuntu 18.04 virtual machine, using MySQL, Nginx, Amazon S3 file uploads, S3 database backups, and touch-free automated deployments.
Background
Setting up strapi is a first step in migrating my wife’s site & blog from WordPress to a Headless CMS, and re-designing it using a static site generator.
T4 with LLBLGen
In this post, we look at leveraging T4 templates to extend the power of LLBLGen inside of Visual Studio .NET. Writing T4 templates to auto-generate code is almost a norm at this point it seems, it’s built-in to ASP.NET MVC, and used as a first-class tool in most ORMs. So why not use T4 templates to extend the power of LLBLGen as well.
Theming ServiceStack Razor Views
In this post, we look at adding theming capabilities to the ServiceStack Razor View engine. Source and live demo are included. This post is third in a series investigating ways to leverage ServiceStack in building a RESTful API and UI from a database. The main objective for this new theming capability is to allow easy development of new themes on top of the ServiceStack Razor view engine, with fallback capability to the default theme for views, content pages, master pages and layouts that don’t require specific theming.
RESTful Api and UI for Typed Views and Typed Lists with LLBLGen and ServiceStack
In this post, we extend the implementation described in the prior post to include generating an HTML UI and RESTful Api on top of LLBLGen Typed Views and Typed Lists, leveraging the ServiceStack web service and razor framework. The api provides paging, sorting, filtering – source is hosted on GitHub, and a demo is included as well.

SharePoint 2010 Service Application Development 101 – MailChimp Integration Example
In this post, we will leverage the custom service application infrastructure and solution we put together in the last 4 posts to enhance the service application with new features and capabilities. The sample feature we will add is an integration between SharePoint and MailChimp, enabling sites to synchronize a contacts list to a MailChimp list.
SharePoint 2010 Service Application Development 101 – Admin UI and PowerShell
In this post we explore how to configure various aspects of a SharePoint 2010 service application. This includes building some customizations in the application pages and extending the service application with powershell scripts. It is really up to your imagination when it comes to what you want to include and how you want to manage your service app, SharePoint gives you a tremendous amount of flexibility when it comes to these things.
