In my opnion, Kentico’s caching engine is one of (if not THE) most powerful and usable features of the platform. Kentico is using caching behind the scenes by default to improve performance and deliver content quickly. A wise developer will learn the ways of the Caching Jedi to speed up their custom code and ensure their site is running as optimally as possible.

Well, it’s been a little bit since our last episode so Brian and I thought we’d double-up the goods this time. That’s right, it’s a 2 for 1 sale at the Kentico Rocks Emporium! Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!!! Bring the family because we’ll have free hot dogs and pony rides for the kids!

Global Event Handlers in Kentico are a great way to inject your custom functionality into a standard event or process. You can leverage this feature to log an exception into a ticketing system, format an email before it’s sent, or any other type of custom code you need to execute when something else happens.

This blog is the final installment of my series on integrating PayPal Express with Kentico 8. Hopefully you have checked out Part 1 and 2 and are ready for some more code to bring the whole process together. So let’s get on with it!

The new Kentico 8.1 dashboard is now powered with “live” information in the form of constantly updating “Live Tiles.” These new squares of awesomeness can be empowered to display contextual information to user at certain intervals. This is a great way to get even more information in front of the user without having to drill down into a module or utility.

This is the second post in my series on integrating PayPal Express with Kentico 8. In Part 1 I covered the basics of the integration and how data flows between the two systems. In this post I’ll dive into the code and explain what pieces are needed to make the whole thing work. So let’s get started!

Nearly every project I have developed with Kentico has required integration with a variety of 3rd party and backend systems. Ecommerce sites are notorious for this and are often the most customized of applications. With numerous payment processors available, Kentico can’t have native code for all of them but makes it very easy to do for the knowledgeable developer. This blog series is an overview of integrating one of the most popular ones around, PayPal Express.
