In these days, user experience (UX) is very important. We could have a cool website, but if it is slow, people will go away and never come back to our site. Performance is a main component of UX, so it is imperative that your website is as fast as it can be.

My experience taking the Sitecore Advanced .NET training was like learning the tricks behind a magic performance. Sitecore Rocks provides a useful set of tools to edit content, templates, logs and even pipelines; so it was not a surprise that we quickly stopped worrying about Sitecore Desktop and started to love Sitecore Rocks.

We already had the chance to see the fundamental part of Sitecore as a Content Management System; we’ll now see what’s so special about Sitecore and what are the advantages of developing websites using a CMS such as Sitecore. Also, I’ll cover a little bit about the certification exam.
