Blogpost on Three ways to retrieve large sets of data with the Content Hub WebClient SDK

I published this blogpost on something I ran into during a recent project with Sitecore Content Hub. I needed to import a large amount of data, and to keep things fast and efficient, I had to cache all the reference data up front. That led me to explore three different ways to retrieve large datasets using the WebClient SDK. In this blogpost I'll walk through these.

Featured in CMS Wire article on new Sitecore CEO

Got asked for feedback on the CMS Wire article 'Dave O'Flanagan out as Sitecore CEO After One Year; Eric Stine In', in which I was quoted the following:

Robbert Hock, a 16-time Sitecore MVP and architect at uxbee, told CMSWire, “As someone with a technical background, I’m a little sad to see Dave O’Flanagan step down. His impact on Sitecore has been significant—not only as CEO over the past year but also during his three-year tenure as chief product officer."
