The upcoming release of concrete5 Version 8 will have some amazing new ways to create structured data and hook it into 3rd party services. It's always been easy to build a marketing site with concrete5, now it'll be just as easy to build an application online. Learn why we think this is the next big thing and watch a quick demo of how it works.
We are proud to announce that the new version 7 beginner and developer online training classes on concrete5.org went live today.
There's a lot to worry about when maintaining an open source php package, things like unit testing, version control, dependency management, code style, and licensing can be difficult to get straight and keep up to date. Luckily we have tools like composer, git, github, CI and groups like the PHP-FIG that make managing all of these things is a much simpler task than it has ever been.
Im proud to announce Jess has got Version 7 Level I - Editor certification out the door and live! Woot woot!
We are very excited to announce a relaunch of top level pages on concrete5.org.
The new look weve had for the last year or two felt great, but the content didnt always deliver on the promise of the design. We had fallen into the age old trap of putting disparate content elements next to each other because we had some space. A muddled vision for each pages purpose left us feeling like someone in a great suit with no idea what theyre talking about.
