Skywalker Software Development - Writing an Orchard Webshop Module from scratch - Part 1. In this blog post series we will walk through the process of building an Orchard module from scratch!
Orchard is an awesome CMS with powerful features and inspiring architecture that allows for unlimited extensibility, but it might take some time to fully understand it's architecture and being able to customize all aspects of your own Theme or even create your custom modules that integrate with all the extensibility points of Orchard. It is my hope that you will benefit from the knowledge I gained along the way and that you will come to see the beauty of Orchard and its architecture. Not only is it just great for simple or advanced websites and blogs, but it's very much a base platform for building all kinds of webbased applications such as e-commerce backends, CRM's, supportticket systems, project management, community sites, learning management systems and so forth.

I kept the class small to clear the "cobwebs" and get back into the groove. We developed 5 custom Orchard modules (parts, widgets, types, fields, etc. ) in the 4 hours of training and I thought I would just touch upon them for kicks in a series of posts. Since Twitter Bootstrap is so popular, a lot of the various Orchard widgets and modules used Twitter Boostrap for various CSS, JavaScript, etc. Orchard CMS Developer and Orchard CMS Tutorials.
