The Alfresco Surf platform is a lightweight User Interface development framework.

It comes with Alfresco 3.x, and is the core technology upon which Alfresco SHARE is built.

Surf interacts with Alfresco web scripts, but in addition gives developers many other options they can use for development, such as FreeMarker, JSP, or building their own custom renderers (e.g. PHP, Velocity).

In this introductory session, we take a look at the underpinnings of Surf platform, how it can be used to create dynamic sites, and take a look at a few examples of components built with Surf.
