Episode 4 of Radio Liferay is out. I'm speaking with Raymond Augé,  Sr. Software Architect at Liferay

We spoke about these topics - and probably more:

  • Internet coverage in Northern Ontario
  • Forums, IRC, Blog
  • The beauty of XML and XSLT (in 2004)
  • Bits of Liferay's history since 2004, e.g. the Sourceforge Mailinglist
  • Some Features Ray has been involved in: WCMS, Permissions, Document Repositories, Asset API, Service Builder, Staging, Search - basically most of what's somehow related to WCM.
  • The enjoyment of sharing information. Not disseminating information is counterproductive. (At this place I'd like to place a completely unrelated shoutout to JT - you know what for ;-) )
  • the benefits of keeping hands away from UI code.
  • (Learning english in this episode consists of my "inadvertently" stumbling across my tongue)
  • Feature talk: The new staging in 6.1, "site variations", how work on it was done.
  • The use of the different templating languages: Velocity, Freemarker, XSLT
  • WebContent and Templates can partly replace portlet & plugin development.  Documented on Ray's Blogpost Advanced Web Content Example with Ajax and Liferay Live presentation
  • OSGi, in Ray's Blog and on github
