"Explore—go off into the craziest recesses of interaction models you’d like to see[…]
Even if you end up back where you started, you’ll have lit up the entirety of the “Zelda map” of possibilities, as it were. You’ll understand the context of your choice in the greater whole, and your work will be decidedly more confident for doing so."
~ Craig Mod, Designer, Flipboard (via A List Apart)
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.
