More BCMKE3 – Best Sessions

I’ll admit – from the moment the intro session started at BarCampMilwaukee, I was hooked.  People throwing around names like Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal, and Rich Internet Applications and I knew I was in good company.  Granted I’m not very experienced in the last, but I can recognize the potential and am trying to grasp the concepts of Adobe’s AIR development platform.

The sessions I got the most out of were the ones I could use that day.  My professional web site (you’re here, obviously) was stale and the Wordpress session inspired me to tackle a redesign that made maintanence 100 x easier and posting 100000 x easier.

The second-most useful session was Drupal.  I’ve never used Drupal to build a web app, but when I was trying to decide between CMS’s it was Joomla or Drupal.  Armed with some new ammunition, I might do some more exploring of Drupal as a robust CMS that has solid code and some cool features that Joomla doesn’t offer.
