AuthorRank: Google (There is a first part to this whole thing if you click here)

Dum Dum Dum...

Welcome back, after much persuasion and 10 bucks we are back for the real thing.

S: Thank you for being here Heinrich.

H: No worries.

S:  How long have you been developing sites with Drupal?

H: Well Drupal not so long, maybe started a year ago.

S: Why did you decide to change from coding to a CMS?

H: Well to be honest, anyone not using a Content Managing System these days are either a hacker or just
     has way to much time on there hands.  The HTML wiz kids are matched everyday all the way by people
     using systems like Drupal, It's free, very powerful and has an amazing community backing it.

S:  What would you say is the best place to start when trying out Drupal for the first time?

H: You know when you get a new cellphone and its already charged?  But it's only charged a little bit?  If
    you know what I'm talking about then that's how you go about Starting out with Drupal diving in head first
    and doing as much as you can with as little knowledge possible.

S: That's how I remember it.  So I hear you love Panels and think it's probably the best thing ever?

H: No.  Display Suit FTW!  A complete field management can be obtained trough Display Suit. No further
     comment.

S: Good one.  How long does it take you to create a simple 5 page site including content, visuals and
     functionality?

H: First off I only write content when you nag at me.  Then second about 10 minutes using my super secret
     techniques

S: So have you kind of worked out your own little routine to create sites in less time you follow, and could
   you share a tip or two with the users.

H: Blocks, just go out and learn Block.

S: Thanks man.

And that concludes our interview for this afternoon, from us here at...

H: What are you doing?

S: Always Live on the Edge.

Review : The new Pushtape Installation profile for Drupal 7 - Yay or nay?

AuthorRank: Google Have you heard of Pushtape?  Don't worry me neither.  But after this blog post we will definitely be sure if its a Drupal yay or nay.  The reason I chose this Installation profile as the theme for my post is simple, to make sites for bands in your community is an easy way to get your foot in the web development scene if you are just starting out.  All band sites basically works in the same way which means that you can just duplicate your site structure every time. OK so here we go. Pushtape is a new Installation Profile for Drupal 7 that focuses on musicians, it comes supplied with a discography framework, you can very easily post new events like shows, there is a custom photo gallery where you can upload multiple photos as a set and of course a nice looking news type blog for all those quick updates. The installation was really easy, clean, very well customized and quick. I use WebMatr...

Application development environment setup

Setup for application development right click and save images for bigger version Installing Java JAVA JDK Download In my experience I have found that starting your enviroment setup with java is best. In the system variables I made a new variable called it JAVA_HOME , and I set the value to: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79 . After that, I edited PATH , which is also in the system variables and I added : ;%JAVA_HOME%\bin . In command prompt enter javac -version, if you see a return message javac 1.7.0_79 or something similar you can continue, I cant tell you how important it is to get this right, just know that things will go wrong at unexpected times.
