Once again: Devcon is over (actually, for quite a while now) and it's time to look back. If only because the Recap site is public. You can now watch the video recordings of presentations that you've missed, download slides and go through everything again.

(or) Why categories are so much more than nestable tags "I LOVE tags," Jaffer managed despite a mouthful of spiced lamb ouzie.   Sergei was finding the younger guest a bit annoying. The kid had ambled in from the snow to get a bite. Sergei himself had come in to escape the noise that seasoned other cafeterias. He fancied Abou Shousha's...

Unit testing and Integration Testing for service builder is one of the most searchable content across internet. I have found many forums, posts, wiki and even github codes but none of them seems to be working with Liferay DXP (or Liferay 7 CE) version.   Till Liferay 6.2 version, service builder always packaged as portlet which implies that it has access to portlet...

So the Liferay workspace is pretty handy when it comes to building all of your OSGi modules, themes, layout templates and yes, even your legacy code from the plugins SDK. But, when it comes to initializing a local bundle for deployment or building a dist bundle, using one of the canned Liferay 7 bundles from sourceforge may not cut it, especially if you're using Liferay DXP, or if...

And thank you even more for all your questions, as they help us know what your concerns...

It isn’t possible to read a news article or open a newspaper without reading about Digital Transformation. From consultants and software vendors to infrastructure providers and analysts everyone is talking about digital transformation and how it can improve customer experience, increase revenue streams and improve operations.

Software should be modular. It has been a core thought of developers and architects for quite a long time. The microservices style of development and deployment is a thing now, and different projects are taking the modularity from logical design also to physical level. There’s project Jigsaw that’ll offer a way to create modules in Java 9. Liferay is onboard with modularity as well,...

At Coin we have developed SimpleEdit, a new and improved way for editing your documents stored in Alfresco or Liferay. Now that Liferay has moved on to DXP, we are in the process of upgrading SimpleEdit to this new platform. One of the required modules for SimpleEdit was a JSP hook that provided the user with buttons in the Documents section of the Control Panel and the...

But if you look at what got into the...

Build Around MDX I cannot make the case to encourage you to write MDX. It's a complex query language, underutilized, supported by major vendors*, but after 20 years of existence still struggle to get traction, much like SQL. But a query language adds an abstraction layer needed for embedded analytics, avoiding APIs nightmares, closed doors and impossible iframes. MDX...
