I’ve been working on Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) previously known as Communique5 (CQ5) for quite a while now. At first when I started learning it, I thought it is going to be difficult for me to understand it but I was wrong. This enterprise CMS is awesome and has so many things that you can do.
I have used two versions of it which are CQ5 and AEM6. There are huge difference in terms of data management, user management, security, etc. But for me, the whole experience were somehow the same. I haven’t fully understand the whole updates actually. 🙂
From traditional JSP and JSTL development, AEM introduced their own templating engine called Sightly. Although you cannot just drop both JSP and JSTL development as you might still need it for some of your work, Sightly on the other hand produced shorter and cleaner coding. It is also suitable to developers who uses only HTML/JS/CSS and doesn’t know much on doing Java/JSP/JSTL. I’ve been using it with Java Use-API.
This is just a start of my experience with this incredible web CMS. I hope you guys will keep in touch with me and don’t hesitate to ask me things. I’ll find ways to help you.
