Hey Look! I am on the TV!

January 26th, 2012 by Seth Gottlieb

Last week I had the privilege of joining Scott Liewehr on CMS Connected, a web television show about content management. The topic was “2011 WCM Year in Review” and we covered a lot of ground: mobile, engagement, and the cloud. Tom Wentworth, from Ektron dropped in on Skype for a cameo appearance too.

I had a great time and folks on Twitter seemed to enjoy the conversation as well. You can watch it here. I also got to meet Butch Stearns who I know from listening to WEEI.

Big thanks to Tyler Pyburn and The Pulse Network for hosting and Falcon-Software for their generous sponsorship.

Fun with static publishing

January 17th, 2012 by Seth Gottlieb

In the old days, static publishing (or baking, where the CMS generates static HTML files at publish time), was pretty much the standard. Most of the WCM products on the market did static publishing: Interwoven, Tridion, RedDot, Percussion ….

Digital Asset Management: Inventory or Production?

January 10th, 2012 by Seth Gottlieb

I have been doing a lot of work in digital asset management (DAM) over the past several months. One thing that strikes me about digital asset management software is that a majority of the market focuses on solving the problem of organizing and finding digital assets rather than the problem of producing assets. This is [...]

Being a 10X programmer

November 14th, 2011 by Seth Gottlieb

Jack Templin just sent me this excellent article called How to be the 10X programmer. A 10X programmer is a single person who has the effectiveness of 10 programmers. While this at first sounds like an impossible or at least unsustainable model of one super hero doing more work than a team, it is reasonable [...]

Back to Java?

November 10th, 2011 by Seth Gottlieb

Robert Cringely has an interesting article predicting the return of Java as a core language for the web: The second coming of Java. The flow of his argument is that Java is much faster than interpreted languages (such as Ruby, PHP, and Python) but performance hasn’t mattered because the primary bottleneck has been disk I/O.

Why you should do your homepage wireframe last
