Show notes
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
