Aiming to extend its reputation amongst the web developer and designer communities, Adobe has updated its Web Experience Management (WEM) offering with a set of product augmentations designed to drive sites that engender "web engagement with optimised (and personalised) landing pages" plus social tools.
Crucial updates in the Adobe CQ 5.5 suite include the 'Client Context' and 'PhoneGap' options.
These tools have been engineered with the intention of giving web developers greater personalisation power to contextualise website information to an individual user based upon their profile, as long as the user is happy to 'login' and/or 'sign up' to the site's services for regular visits.
Client Context will extend to recognise not only a user's interests and browsing preferences, but also build in awareness of an individual's preferred devices and location should they wish to submit that information.
Our Justin DeOliveira recently graced the “airwaves” of the internet, speaking to Rich Bowen of the Sourceforge Anvil Podcast about the GeoServer project. GeoServer was one of SourceForge’s featured projects in February 2012.

Why see a doctor 200 miles away when you live 20 miles from one of the United States’ fifth most populated cities? One word: relationship. Thirteen years ago I was a young college kid with a simple meniscus tear and I went to a doctor based on who was covered in my insurance. When that experience led me to more knee problems rather than repairs, another physician suggested posting my case to this “internet” community of orthopedic surgeons. That’s how I met Dr. Howard Luks, an Orthopedic Surgeon in Westchester County , New York.
My colleagues and I have just completed yet another engagement with a large client — one of dozens recently — who was facing a to be or not to be decision: whether to move its BI platform and applications to the cloud.

Do you have a pile of old print-outs of PDF documents on your desk that correspond to different versions of the same file, but you can't see which printout corresponds to which version? And the file in question sits in a git repository?
Well, your prayers shall be heard. Here's the answer to that mess: Just watermark each PDF before you print it with the git commit id. You can find out the current git commit id with git describe --always.
How to get that onto you PDF? Either use a pen or pdflatex with the pdfinput and tikz packages. For those of us who don't like to use pens the script below automates that task. Just say (assuming you have named the script commitid and put it to some place in your PATH)
Research In Motion said on Wednesday it was working to end a three-day global disruption of BlackBerry services that has frustrated millions of smartphone users and put more pressure on the company for sweeping changes.
For a few days in September (16th through 23rd), the Slovenian capital Ljubljana was also the World Capital of OpenBSD hacking, hosting the s2k11: General hackathon, with 25 developers participating. Undeadly editor Mitja Muzenic was there, but he was too busy organizing the event (by all accounts doing an excellent job) to write about it, so we asked each of the developers who participated to send us a short summary of what happened at the hackathon.
Those summaries form the base of this series of articles (we have several more in process). If you're not folloing -current, this is an early preview of what may appear in the next release, or in some cases of features that will be tentatively included for testing in upcoming snapshots.
Recently I started using Bitbucket for private repository hosting for a project I’m working on. While I had no experience with Mercurial, I figured it can’t be that tricky – and Bitbucket offers free private hosting which is what this project needed (couldn’t go public, couldn’t pay, didn’t have the time to set up self-hosted SCM hosting).
All in all I like Bitbucket (although I have to admit on most aspects they seem to fall behind GitHub), but not so much using Mercurial – for all sorts of reasons it felt quirky and less polished than Git, which honestly I have much more experience with.
So following Bitbucket’s big announcement on Git support, I’ve decided to migrate my repositories from Hg to Git, while keeping them on Bitbucket and maintaining repository history. I’m happy to say it was relatively a piece of cake to successfully achieve. Here is what I did:
At first, after switching from SVN, it was a bit difficult wrapping my head around the new workflow and discovering its advantages, but lately I’ve really begun to get excited about all the advanced features Git makes available

In many cases, one ends up hosting multiple sites on a single server, shared or VPS.
Also in many other cases a company has multiple domains and multiple page addresses to service clients and prospects from different countries, demographics and walks of life.
And the need of the hour is that one wants to send a user to a different folder on your web site, based on what domain they use? Here we will explain a simple way to do this using PHP.
This article is kind of a two-in-one, I’ll demonstrate how to create an extension to Python written in C and how to take the power of OpenCV to the web. In order to follow this article you must have OpenCV installed on your system, if you don’t have OpenCV you can read my previous article to learn how to get and compile OpenCV (there’s a small adjustment to be made on OpenCV’s source code if you’re planning to compile it on a Mac machine).
One common need when working in PHP is a way to convert an XML document into a serializable array. If you ever tried to serialize() and then unserialize() a SimpleXML or DOMDocument object, you know what I’m talking about.
Millions of BlackBerry users remained without service on Wednesday as a three-day service outage spread to North America, causing massive frustrations for people who rely on these smartphones for business and personal communications.
If last week's videos helped 'git' you interested in version control, this next week is where we start learning how to apply the commands you will use most often as you to to your repository. For those of you who are new to version control, this will set an important foundation of uniquely version-control-esqe concepts along with super practical application. If you're coming from a Subversion background, you'll learn about the 'staging' area, something we'll use throughout the series to finely-tune our commits.
I recently read this very interesting article on ways to "level up" as a software developer. Reading this article brought home something that has been nagging me for a while since joining Google: that there is a huge skill and cultural gap between "developers" and "Computer Scientists."
Jason's advice to leveling-up in the aforementioned article is very practical: write code in assembly, write a mobile app, complete the exercises in SICP, that sort of thing. This is good advice, but certainly not all that I would want people on my team spending their time doing in order to be true technical leaders.
Whether you can sling JavaScript all day or know the ins and outs of C++ templates often has little bearing on whether you're able to grasp the bigger, more abstract, less well-defined problems and be able to make headway on them.
