We recently rebuild a Sitecore MVC implementation to a headless approach in just two weeks. Without any custom .NET code.

Yes, you've read that correctly. Two weeks. Not a single line of .NET code.

This might sound ridiculous, which I understand. Especially if you are a Sitecore MVC developer and not familiar with Sitecore Headless. Besides you probably keep hearing about fancy tools like GraphQL, Jamstack, Next.js, SSG, and Serverless. All confused? Let me try to clear things up for you!

This is my humble attempt to help Sitecore MVC developers get a grasp of 'Headless' and get the mental model right.

The .NET code will be minimal in a headless implementation, but the role of a Sitecore Developer is just as important as before. The focus will shift though. Instead of repetitive tasks, you now will have more time to build/integrate exciting stuff. There is more time available to focus on the editing experience, content architecture, consultancy, and training.

Curious how? I will share my learnings in a blog series. Let's start with exploring the concept of MACH.
