By Spencer Critchley
November 22, 2009

Continuing my effort to spare newcomers to Drupal from falling into this powerful content management system's most common traps, this time I look at a frequent cause of white screens - the sudden and scary devolution of a previously healthy...

Top Drupal Gotchas: "Access Denied" and Permissions Problems

By Spencer Critchley
October 31, 2009

The Drupal Content Management System keeps getting better and better. But the learning curve is still steep and the interface is still tricky - even after working with it for several years, some gotchas keep tripping me up. That tells...

Thoughts on the Whitehouse.gov switch to Drupal

By Tim O'Reilly
October 25, 2009

Yesterday, the new media team at the White House announced via the Associated Press that whitehouse.gov is now running on Drupal, the open source content management system. That Drupal implementation is in turn running on a Red Hat Linux system with Apache, MySQL and the rest of the LAMP stack. Apache Solr is the new White House search engine. This...

Drupal and Dreamweaver's Jekyll and Hyde Problem

By Rich Tretola
March 16, 2009

There was a discussion going on internally at O'Reilly spawned by an email from Tim O'Reilly pointing editors at a post commented on at Slashdot about a blog post made by a web designer: Dreamweaver is Dying, Long Live Drupal. (Original post is here).

XProc: XML Pipelines and RESTful Services

By Kurt Cagle
March 11, 2009

Anyone who has used languages such as XSLT should have a pretty fair idea about the complexities involved in treating XML as a programming language itself - it's verbose, forces thinking into a declarative model that can be at odds with the C-based languages currently used by most programmers, can be difficult to read, and as a syntax it doesn't always fit well with the requirements in establishing parameter signatures and related structures.

Is Dreamweaver being beaten by Drupal?

By Kurt Cagle
March 8, 2009

In 1997, I was at the Macromedia User's Conference to give a talk on creating "intelligent" agents within Macromedia Director. At this particular conference, Macromedia announced a new product called Dreamweaver, an HTML editing application that exercised a profound effect upon the web development community.

Getting Started With Drupal

By Kurt Cagle
November 19, 2008

Once upon a time, website programming was a fairly arduous proposition. You could spend months putting together the various back end processing pages in ASP or PHP or Perl, writing included files that, if you were thoughtful about it, may contain some reuse, but overall writing such code by hand almost invariably meant that the code was not only very targeted to one particular use but was an absolute nightmare to maintain.

Drupal as Open Architecture

By Kurt Cagle
August 14, 2008

I have a confession to make - after close to a decade covering XML, I have something of a new love ... and the name of that love is Drupal. Drupal's become one of those interesting hobbies that is rapidly becoming both a profession and a passion. It wasn't supposed to happen this way ... by rights, I should be deeply in the world of Ruby on Rails right now, or learning the latest deep programming secrets of Python, but somewhere along the line I realized one of those ugly little fundamental truths that good programmers should never actually learn - that at some point, recreating the wheel yet again begins to lose its luster, and, indeed, become rather ... well ... dull.

By Simon St. Laurent
August 14, 2008

A common theme at this year's Balisage Conference has been integrating Semantic Web technologies with more traditional web interfaces. So far, it hasn't been the more common microformats approach, but rather approaches that let users add assertions to documents in...
