The purpose of this tutorial is to show you how to set up a basic project structure in AEM. For this tutorial we will be using crxde lite. This tutorial does not go into full detail, but does provide all the code that was used in the creation of this project for learning purposes. For this tutorial I was using AEM 6.0. You should be able to follow along with other versions of this software.

There are many times when an author is modifying a component on a page, and they will have to manually refresh the page in order to see the changes that were made to it. Now, this does not take up a lot of time, but if it happens often it can add up significantly. There is a way to have the page automatically refresh when a change is made to the component.

The purpose of this tutorial is to install the AEM Sightly Brackets Extension and see how easy it is to transfer content back and forth between Brackets and your local instance of AEM. For this tutorial I was using: AEM 6.0, AEM Brackets Extension 0.0.12, and Brackets 1.1. You should be able to follow along with other versions of this software. In order to follow along you will need the following:

With the release of AEM 6, sightly has become the new go to language instead of using JSP. With the switch to this there has a been a new tool that was released, a sightly brackets extension. This extension offers some great features such as sightly syntax highlighting, code completion for sightly expressions, and bidirectional synchronization. What does this all mean? Well, Brackets is an open source text editor that focuses on web design, and with sightly being a HTML5 template, it is a great tool to edit it with.

When you are preparing for technical interview, it is sometimes beneficial to know what types of questions that may be asked during your interview. I am going to list some questions that may be asked during an AEM interview, and the answers to these questions. This is not a definitive guide by any means, but a way to get going in the right direction. This is part one of my AEM interview questions.

Finding a new tool to help you as a developer is always exciting. One that I would like to share with you that recently became available is the AEM Developer Chrome Extension. This extension is a great tool that can save you a lot of time when working with AEM. The extension was created by Nate Yolles, and you can check it out here on GitHub: aem-developer-chrome You can also find the extension on the Google Chrome store here: AEM Developer Chrome Extension

Adobe has recently released a new tool that can extend your existing components dialog that is defined for the classic view and update it to the new Touch UI dialog. The tool will use the original dialog that was built with ExtJS and create a duplicate dialog that is based on the Granite UI. Even though your classic dialog will work on the Touch UI, it does not have the nice new design that fits in with the Touch UI and it really stands out.

Adobe will be holding another “Ask the Community Experts Session” this month on March 24th at 11 A.M. - 12:00 P.M. EST. This session will be focusing on workflows in AEM. The session will be giving an in depth look at building workflow models, custom workflow steps, using the workflow launcher, and available workflow operations. If you have not attended one of these AEM sessions, they are a great chance to listen to some of the best experts in the industry, a great place to ask questions, and a good way to start networking.

The purpose of this tutorial is create a component for AEM that will send an email and then display a confirmation message. This is accomplished by using the ACS AEM Commons Email API. The ACS AEM Commons package adds a lot of features to the out of the box AEM implementation. For the purpose of this tutorial we will be creating the component in crxde lite. This tutorial does not go into full detail, but does provide all of the code that was used in the creation of this component for learning purposes.

The purpose of this tutorial is to develop a component for AEM, which will allow you to display 3D models. This is accomplished by loading in an X3D file and then displaying it on your webpage. For this tutorial we will be creating the component in crxde lite. This tutorial does not go into full detail, but does provide all of the code that was used in the creation of this component for learning purposes.
