GoLive 6 -- intriguing use of open source tools #

"GoLive 6 marks a decided change in attitude from Adobe. In the interests of a competitive product and a complete server feature set, the company leapt into bed with Apache, Tomcat (a JSP server), MySQL, and PHP under both the Darwin environment of Mac OS X and the modern NT-style architecture of Windows XP and 2000."   Posted by Raymond Yee on 6/3/02; 4:42:41 PM from the Web Technology dept.

Berkeley journalism school has a class on blogging #

Thanks to Dave Winer for pointing out a class happening on my own campus!  (I can't tell whether the class will happen or has already taken place).  Here's the course description: Weblogs are a new form of online publishing that have rapidly become a popular way of getting news and information on particular topics. Some are run by journalists, while others operate in competition with journalists. In this class students will create a Weblog to explore the subject of "intellectual property" - copyright issues, the battle over free music downloads and peer-to-peer networks, deep linking to Web sites, etc. News sources will be scanned each day for items of interest to the IP community, the top stories will be selected, and precise summaries of each story will be written, with a unique perspective and voice. The resulting Weblog column will be posted to the school's Web site and to an email list of interested subscribers. We'll also be bringing in experts in the Bay Area on intellectual property and copyright issues to become contributors to the Weblog.   Posted by Raymond Yee on 6/3/02; 4:27:45 PM from the Web Technology dept.
