[Year 12 IT Apps] Unit 3 O2 Resources

Thu Apr 2 19:59:16 EST 2009

Yes, they cracked a huge wobbly here. Am just recovering from the huge punch
up that resulted and only called timeout by rolling back to FrontPage. We
will now instead migrate to our Drupal server. Once I finish dressing it up
and get some staff trained, this will go live.

Interesting thought .. one of my more learned colleagues suggested that as
many organisations are now using various flavours of content management
systems to publish their resources, perhaps building large and integrated
website with tools like Web Expressions, Dream Weaver etc is now of
accademic value only. It makes as much sense as building a car by hand with
a mechano set when you can subcontract the work to a mechanised auto plant.

Regards Roland

PS: There are some excellent drupal training courses running in Melbourne. I
am happy to cross post some details.
