There are a few things you need to do in order to be prepared for the Master Class. This section will help you get everything set up, so you’re ready when the Master Class begins.
Download:
These are the requirements for downloaded/installed software, so you can follow along during the Master Class:
Go to http://www.ucommerce.net/download. You’ll be asked to fill out a form to get access to our download page. Click on “Accelerator for Kentico” to download the accelerator. It’s a rather big file as it includes a full Kentico 10 installation.
On the site from which you download the accelerator there’s a link to a setup guide of the accelerator (“How to setup the accelerator on Kentico”). You can read the steps needed to setup the accelerator there.
Once the accelerator is set up, you’ll need to “stop” the site in Kentico, as we’ll be building our own small webshop during the master class. We’ll use the
accelerator as inspiration and make use of the categories and products that already ships with it.
During the Master Class we’ll be working in a smaller Visual Studio solution than the one that ships with the accelerator. This helps us keep the accelerator and
the Master Class material separated. There’s a script in the Master Class Visual Studio solution, which will make sure our changes are pushed to the directory structure of the site we created in the steps above. More about that later.
