She's Craft-y, and she's just my type

An intro to Craft CMS presented by Ryan Shrum at SyntaxCon in Charleston, SC.

Description:
In the age where open source is king, why use Craft, a commercial CMS? Craft was recently voted Best CMS for Developers in the CMS Critic’s People’s Choice Awards and I’m going to show you why! I’ll dive into some of Craft’s most powerful, and loved, features.

We’ll take a look at the ease of getting a Craft site off the ground and providing your clients the best possible author experience. I’ll highlight a few of the ever growing 3rd party plugin options and the ease of getting into plugin development.
