WordCamp NYC, WPBook, WordCamp Boston
Veröffentlicht 14 Nov 2009 von John EckmanTags: Open Source

Here’s the slides from my presentation this morning at WordCamp NYC. It was in the “beginning developer” track so I tried to focus on the overall structure of how the plugin does what it does and the hooks/actions/filters used.

Web Content Management evolved
Veröffentlicht 25 Aug 2009 von Andrew WebbTags: Assembled Web, UK

Web Content Management (WCM) seems to mean different things to different people.  This of course can lead to confusion.  The term Web Content Management has been around for a while, since the mid 1990’s,  but two key things have changed since the term was first adopted namely the web and the type of content available over the web. + Read more

Veröffentlicht 05 May 2009 von Chris FullerTags: media

The holdout (Boston Newspaper Guild) is now facing significant pressure, not only from management but also from the other unions and its own members to keep negotiations moving forward. Regardless of the result, it appears the paper will keep rolling off the presses for now. + Read more
