In addition to learning more about Ruby and implementing some web-service based client-side coolness in jQuery (Read: SharePoint list data feeding slick-looking HTML dynamically) I’m also jumping into the Web CMS pool. First install: my second crack at Drupal, this time via DreamHost instead of via command line and focusing more on the ins and outs of configuration. I’ve also got Joomla and others available to work with.
What’s your favorite web CMS? Open Source? Proprietary? Link to some examples of what you’ve done with it?
As a hosting / ease of use side note, for those that haven’t seen DreamHost’s list of one click installs, it’s gotten even more awesome. 12 CMS installs and a bunch of plugins could deliver huge for even the most basic of company webmasters. Tough to beat for 10 bucks a month.
A favorite group of mine to follow for open source development, Development Seed out of Washington DC has moved their MapBox product to the iPad, enabling users to do off-line custom mapping overlays. In my mind this takes the iPad to a new level and makes it a true visualization tool for business and government. Their future-slated TileMill product also looks extremely exciting. Keep up the good work!
The Whitehouse.gov folks release some of their Drupal modules to the open source community. Nifty.
