We spoke to Håkon Wium Lie, CTO, Opera and spoke about the latest trends in open web standards.Håkon Wium Lie, CTO, Opera, and creator of CSS From what we understand, CSS3 is now being developed in a modular fashion, so parts of it can become standardised while other modules are still being worked on. What are some of the CSS3 modules that are near being recommended? Yes, you're right, CSS3 is modular. And it's probably about somewhere between 20 to 30 modules. And we can't do all of them at the same time. Some are being actively developed by all browsers and they are the ones that are closest to being mature, whereas others are more experimental. Some of them may never really become a standard. So there's little bit of everything in it. I think it's due to the...

We were delighted to hear from Matt Mullenweg on what he has to say about WordPress. A couple of weeks ago, we spoke about WordPress 3.3 and its features. Here's more on WordPress, from its creator!Matt Mullenweg, Co-founder of WordPress, Founder of AutomatticWordPress is increasingly being used as a CMS rather than a blogging platform. Often the missing features are added via plug-ins. Do you intend to add those missing pieces and make WordPress a full fledged CMS? 92% of WordPress developers use it as a CMS, and we're constantly improving on our built-in features around that functionality. It's the reason we've become the most popular content management system in the world.However, we disagree philosophically with the "kitchen sink" approach of building everything...

oVirt, a free platform virtualization management web application software developed by Red Hat, has now received widespread industry support by companies such as Canonical, Cisco, IBM, Intel, NetApp, Red Hat and SUSE. These companies have partnered together and aim to create a new open source community that would develop open virtualization platforms, including virtual management tools for managing Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) hypervisor. With the progress made in the oVirt project, the industry now has a new open source, openly governed virtualization stack. To drive the establishment of an active community around oVirt, the project board leaders held an open community project launch and workshop last month in San Jose, California, at the Cisco campus to officially kick off the...

We have just heard of release candidate 3 of WordPress 3.3 released yesterday. This was a last minute update by WordPress after working over tweaks and bug fixes according to a post on the website. For now, WordPress has announced a release date for early next week, which means websites could now switch to version 3.3 before the Christmas break. If you're developing plugins or themes, you can test them on RC3 so that you can check any compatibility issues or breaks in code. These would be patched when the final release goes out early next week. Several posts on the development blog talk about WordPress 3.3. jQueryAmong the updates that are mentioned, WordPress 3.3 will be bundled with jQuery 1.7.1, and is backwards compatible with jQuery 1.6.1 which was included in WordPress 3.2....

We spoke to Harish Pillay, Global Community and Technology Architect, Red Hat Inc. Here's the interview that sheds light on the cloud, apps and other trends in the enterprise market that's relevant to developers.Harish Pillay, Global Community and Technology Architect, Red Hat Inc A lot has been spoken about Linux and open source as a whole. It's secure, it's free. For every secure feature spoken about in Linux, there is someone out there working on an attack. How do you plan to address such concerns? I think the easiest way to answer this question would be to flip it the other way around. When you design something or build something with security in mind, you are always cognizant of the fact that you can have ten measures and if everything works fine, that's great. But on...

We've all heard of WordPress, the blogging platform. We've also all heard of Google AdSense. Yes, that's where Google makes a sizeable chunk of money. Although WordPress is among the most popular blogging platform online, Google controls over half of the online marketing space. So what happens, when WordPress decides to launch its own ad delivery network? In a recent blog post, Jon Burke, Ads Lead at Automattic and WordPress.com said, "Over the years one of the most frequent requests on WordPress.com has been to allow bloggers to earn money from their blog through ads. We’ve resisted advertising so far because most of it we had seen wasn’t terribly tasteful, and it seemed like Google’s AdSense was the state-of-the-art, which was sad. You pour a lot of time and...

Firefox has been a popular browser with the developer community. Johnathan Nightingale, Director of Firefox Engineering, Mozilla, shares his insight on the rapid developments in the browser space, UI, and Flash support on mobiles.Johnathan Nightingale, Director of Firefox Engineering, Mozilla Foundation While Native UI is a good idea for Android, would it not limit the portability of Firefox to other mobile devices / platforms? And if it is individually ported to each platform, would not the add-ons API be different for each platform? It may actually help portability. The performance, responsiveness, and memory benefits of building a native UI on Android are massive and that is likely to be true on other mobile platforms as well. The work we're doing now on Android is forcing...
