How To Setup An Umbraco .NET Core Headless CMS Using Gridsome and Vue.js With Automated Deployment

Umbraco CMS is releasing the .NET Core version of their product later this year. See how you can use the current Alpha release, combined with a GraphQL API and Gridsome, a Vue.js headless site generator, to deliver a fully featured website and get started using this next version of Umbraco now.

ProWorks Senior Architect, Benjamin Carleski, will walk you through the process of setting up Umbraco .NET Core, hosting it on Azure, integrating it with Gridsome, and automating the site generation process when content editors make changes.
