More on Magento
Eight months ago, I was talking about open source eCommerce, and I asked Can open source eCommerce contend? At the time I was worried by the lack of quality and even more so the poor user interfaces offered in the open source eCommerce solutions. However, I talked briefly about a new solution that was soon-to-be-released, Magento. Well, it’s been released and in my opinion it is probably the best solution available.
Jeffery Scott posted a great article called Magento – The New Standard in Open Source eCommerce over at our recently launched Web Developer News site. Magento is making huge progress, and I hope that this new blood forces other eCommerce solutions to take action. A little competition could benefit us all.
Acquia Puts Drupal in the News
As many know, Xavisys recently launched a web developer resource site called WebDevNews. Jeffery Scott really helped kicked things off right with a great article: Acquia Gets Ready for Release of Carbon – Commercially Supported Drupal
He talks about Acquia, a new company that was launched by Dries Buytaert, founder of Drupal. It will offer commercial support for Drupal. It seems that Acquia plans on supporting Drupal much the same way that Automattic supports WordPress and SixApart supports Movable Type. With this kind of support available to our clients, Xavisys will now be offering Drupal solutions in addition to the WordPress and custom solutions already offered.
New Web Development Resource Launched
As a web developer, I know that there are tons of resources out there. I also know that many of them are outdated, contain limited information, or seem to only cover the very basics. I decided that we needed something better. A place where developers, programmers, and designers could share their knowledge in a variety of areas, and we could all benefit. I decided to launch WebDevNews - News For Web Developers. Web Dev News is a collaborative blog, where the content is generated by people who really know what they’re talking about.
If you are a professional in the web development field, please consider contributing to Web Developer News.
