What I Loved About the 2010 Salsa Conference

By Dheeraj Chand - June 28th, 2010

I recently had the good fortune of attending the Salsa Labs Community Conference 2010 and speaking on their panel about integrating Salsa with various content management systems. Even if I weren't speaking on a panel, I would have had a great time. I am already a huge proponent of their technology, and I definitely love the community of people who use it.

Accessibility in Drupal

By Michael Guild - May 18th, 2010

What is User Accessibility? The basic idea is that it's something everyone can access. In developing websites, we are strive for uniformity in all browsers, but rarely consider uniformity for all users. The truth is that 1:5 users has a disability and, in most cases, two or more types of disabilities.

If these disabilities are not addressed during development, websites have the potential to lose 20% of potential users.

The fundamentals of web accessibility standards are set by, but are not limited to, The W3C.

Thinking About GIS for Your Websites? You Should.

By Dheeraj Chand - May 9th, 2010

It seems like every day there's something new that people say a website “Absolutely Must Have!”. Streaming audio? Flash games? A blog? If it’s of value to your stakeholders, keep packing the features in. Today’s must? GIS. Except that this is actually a really, really good idea in almost all cases.

So, what's GIS? It’s a Geographic Information System is any system that collects, manages, analyses and presents geographically referenced data. Sounds like a mouthful, huh? In other words, it’s a way of taking your data and presenting them to your audience according to a coordinate system.

Things I Don't Like About Drupal

By Curtis Morehead - April 7th, 2010

So last time, we talked about the things I loved about Drupal. This time around, we'll cover the things that I like considerably less. None of these should be construed as a reason to shy away from the platform. They're just things that I wouldn't mind seeing improved.

By Curtis Morehead - February 21st, 2010

Its been a mostly positive experience, but there has been some negative. This post will cover the positive aspects. Watch out for my next post where I go into some of the negatives.
