Hyland Alfresco Developer - Software Development Kits (SDKs)

Unlock the power of Hyland Alfresco with robust extension development. This course demystifies the process, guiding you through the essential Software Development Kits (SDKs) needed to build powerful integrations for your Alfresco Content Management System.

Navigating Alfresco extension development can seem complex, but mastering the SDKs makes the journey manageable. We'll explore the two primary SDK options:

• In-Process SDK 4.x: A foundational SDK, deeply rooted in Alfresco's history. We provide a detailed examination of this established SDK, including a look back at version 3.x, offering insights into development practices before the rise of containerization.
• Out-of-Process SDK 5.x: The modern approach to Alfresco extension development. This SDK embraces contemporary best practices, allowing extensions to run independently of the core Alfresco application. This enables smoother Alfresco upgrades and facilitates independent development, deployment, and scaling of your custom solutions.

For larger development teams and complex projects, proper infrastructure is crucial. We'll cover leveraging tools like Nexus Repository Manager for storing and managing your standalone extensions, and integrating with Jenkins CI Server to streamline your build and deployment processes.

While this course primarily focuses on Alfresco Content Services (ACS) development and the officially supported SDKs, we'll also provide an overview of an unofficial SDK for developing extensions for Alfresco Process Services (APS), giving you a broader understanding of available options.
