The Truth About WYSIWYG Editing in your CMS

Automate review for security risks with source code analysis
Security issues are created in custom code when developers cut corners during development or don't make proper use of the APIs, among other reasons.

Percona Live 2013 MySQL Conference
Posted on jeudi, mai 16, 2013 by Pim van der Wal RSS
I recently attended the Percona Live MySQL conference and wanted to share some of the exciting activity in the MySQL community. For our databases we use Percona Server 5.5 and standard MySQL replication with a multi-region offering using Tungsten Replicator.
At the conference there was a lot of attention for MySQL 5.6. The first aspect to hit the spotlight was the fact that Oracle had produced another quality release among worries that under their stewardship MySQL would slowly be killed off. There are a couple of aspects that still warrant attention like the number of bugs in the official... More

Posted on jeudi, mai 16, 2013 by Chris Hartigan RSS

Drupal is having a major impact in higher education and based on the registration list alone it appears that the higher education community will have a major impact on DrupalCon. The sheer number of schools represented, the diversity of the institutions in terms of size and scope, and the range of titles and responsibilities of individuals from those schools all point to next week being a great opportunity to share best practices, network with peers, and learn...

Today, I am proud to announce that one of the highest profile websites in the world, Weather.com, will be joining the Drupal community. With 100 million unique visitors per month, to my knowledge, Weather.com will be the highest traffic Drupal site in existence, validating the open source content management system's power and flexibility within the high-traffic website landscape.
It is easy to understand why Weather.com, based in Atlanta, Ga., though barely... More
