Create Drupal 6 Modules with New Book
Learning Drupal 6 Module Development is a new book from Packt, which acts
as a practical tutorial for creating Drupal 6 modules with PHP. Written by Matt
Butcher, this book will help users to walk through the development of complete
Drupal 6 Modules.
Drupal is a free and open-source modular web
application framework and content management system (CMS) written in PHP. It
can run in many environments, including Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and FreeBSD.
It's a modular system, with an elegant hook-based architecture, and great code.
These are a few of the perks that make Drupal a choice platform for developers
who want the power of an established CMS, but the freedom to make it work for
them. From social networking to AJAX to e-commerce, the hundreds of existing
modules attest to Drupal's flexibility.
Opinion: File Based Applications to replace Database Systems
OpenEdit's Joel Halse believes that file based applications and not the database driven systems are the next evolution for information management. The below article is written by Joel Halse and explains his reasons for why he has reached this conclusion.
Lets say you need to organize 2000
people on a football field. A relational database would create 2000
little boxes and make everyone stay in their little box. If someone
needed to move around, they would first need to inform the
administrator so that the administrator doesn't lose track of everyone.
A file based system on the other hand would hand out a cell phone to
everyone and tell them to have fun. If someone needs you, we'll give
you a call. Just make sure you don't lose your cell phone. Beyond that,
have a great day.
