The Joomla! 1.5 Stable has been released

Joomla CMSIt is finally here, and it took us 2 years to build it. After 2 exciting BugCamp and DocCamp events we finally managed to have a stable version of the lovely Joomla! CMS 1.5 released. Now we need time to upgrade all of our websites from the version 1.0 to the 1.5.

Joomla! 1.5 has been re-written from ground up using a new API and Model View Controller (MVC) architecture. It is not only a superb CMS, but also a great framework for building other variations of content managements such as Intranets, and Social Networking Management Systems (SMS).

Congratulations Joomla! team, and Joomla! Community. Today we have every right to feel proud!

Blogosphere just got better!

My good friend and business associate, Ash Sanieyan from PeerGlobe Technology, has launched his new website and blog. PeerGlobe’s new website is powered by the Joomla CMS version 1.5 and so far it looks pretty good. Ash is constantly improving the site as he is going. Once he told me that he can’t wait until everything is perfect and I agreed. That is exactly why we have created content management systems so we can gradually fine-tune and grow the content of our websites.

Ash Sanieyan at the Adobe AIR Workshop - The Network Hub, Vancouver, BC, Canada

Ash is a brilliant developer, and his specialties are Ruby on Rails, Facebook Applications, and Mobile Applications. Just two nights ago we hosted the Adobe AIR Workshop together at The Network Hubs, and he was showing everyone how to put a flex user interface on top of a Ruby On Rails MVC design.

PeerGlobes blog is still new. We are looking forward to many useful insights that Ash will publish for us.

Visit Vancouver’s Developers Facebook Group and Yahoo Upcoming Events
I attended the previous event and after viewing few quite amazing (and not so amazing) presentations I got to meet some really wonderful people such as Boris Mann, Roland Tanglao, Miss 604, my great business associate Ash Sanieyan, and of course Gerald himself. So this event will not only contribute to your development knowledge, but also a great opportunity to meet some really good people in the Vancouver’s technology and business community.

I will be there taking some pictures and blogging. Let’s see what our town’s developers have been cooking up lately.

Facebook probably has more than 60 million users by now. Some of us spend at least 15 minutes or more there, so it is part of our everyday life. Facebook is also a neat framework for developing web applications, and I know quite a number of developers who develop for Facebook including Gerald, Ash and myself (shameless self promotion!)

Btw: this is Gerald’s website. He is a very experienced Ruby on Rails developer and he has been very active brining the community of Ruby developers together.
