Using Composer to manage dependencies in Heroku PHP apps
by Henri Bergius on 08.05.2012
Heroku is a very nice Platform-as-a-Service provider that allows you to focus on writing applications instead of managing servers. If your application code is already managed in Git, in most cases you only need to create a Heroku app setup, and then git push to deploy it on Heroku. Scaling your app is easy and there are many useful add-ons available in their "app store". While Heroku got its start from hosting Ruby on Rails applications, it nowadays supports many different environments in the Cedar stack. Node.js is what many use, but they also do support PHP. Dependency management is easy for...
Decoupled Content Management on tour
by Henri Bergius on 13.04.2012
It seems the idea of Decoupling Content Management is gaining momentum. On the user interface side, many projects have already adopted the VIE interaction framework and widgets from Create, and in the content repository space projects like PHPCR move forward and there are also interesting new ideas like Apache Oak.

Open Advice
by Henri Bergius on 19.03.2012
I seem to have not blogged about this, but Open Advice, our book on Free and Open Source Software: what we wish we had known when we started, was published last month. The book was edited by Lydia Pintscher and includes essays from 42 authors, many of whom you'll recognize if you tend to go to FOSS conferences. The LWN book review concludes: Open Advice is a book that will be helpful to those who are new to FOSS, but, because of the individual voices, styles, and tones, it doesn't read like a "how to". It could even be recommended to those...
