Earlier this month Liferay held it's 3rd annual developer conference in Darmstadt, and I was grateful to be able to attend and see old friends, meet new ones, share some of my experiences, and learn a lot from the experts in attendance. We're all stuck behind keyboards and monitors, mobiles and tablets, so it is also nice to get some facetime with those I interact with virtually...

Liferay Developer Conference and Unconference 2015 were simply great. Lots of sessions, games and chances to meet some of the most active Liferay developers. It was also very exciting and encouraging to register the attention that Audience Targeting has drawn among developers in just one year. Both the session and the workshop led by Julio, Pavel and me were packed and we...

Let me introduce two simple and fun components from among our recently released Liferay Faces Alloy tags, alloy:selectStarRating and alloy:selectThumbRating.  Following the example set by our friends on the AlloyUI team, we packaged their rating component as a JSF component. AlloyUI StarRating + JSF ➔ Liferay Faces alloy:selectStarRating   And similarly, for a boolean...

At Liferay, we're always trying to make the life of developers easier. We're constantly improving our products and releasing new open source libraries. Helping people is what drives us. Last week we presented the Launchpad Project for the first time at Devcon. This is an initiative that we have been working for months and not many people had access to. Now, we're finally...

I'm slowly back to my regular sleep rhythm, after the highly anticipated sleep deprivation week that Devcon always is. Those ~450 participants that were there and made it the biggest and greatest Devcon so far will have seen that Liferay becomes a lot more serious in terms of messaging while still staying accessible on all levels. I've seen lots of connections being made and can...

So I'm here late one night and I'm wondering why Liferay is hosting profile pics... I mean, in this day and age we all have accounts all over the place and many of those places also support profile pics/avatars.  In each of these sites when we create accounts we go and pull our standard avatar pic in and move on. Recently, however, I was working with a site that used an...

Next week Liferay España will hold its annual Liferay Symposium in beautiful Madrid. I'm grateful to be able to attend once again, but this year will be especially awesome because of the momentum we've built over the last year in Liferay, not only due to Liferay 7, but because of the many other projects that have come together to create a true user experience platform, not just...

Introduction Nowadays, cloud computing is getting more and more popular because of the obvious time and resource saves it could provide. One of the most competent contender on the field is the Amazon Web Services which I've found easy to use and fairly cheap on low scale. Among its many features, it is able to launch instances of previously uploaded virtual machine images with...

In web applications we often need to deal with large data sets. In order to deal with potentially tens of thousands of rows of data on the page, we need to lazy load or paginate both the fetching and rendering of data to ensure that our users get a smooth experience. If we also want to allow our users to sort and filter our data, we definitely have our work cut out for us. In this...

That's a question we get often when we tell people what we do. Answers can range anywhere from a quick pitch like "a tool that allows people to build their websites" to something more specific like "a framework for integrating information, people and processes across organizational boundaries." (Thanks, Wikipedia) Though true, those answers don't always address the...

Liferay comes with so many features that it's hard to judge when a feature is a good solution for a given problem. I'd like to shine some light onto some of these features and common misconceptions about them because it's easy to abuse them for purposes for which they're not well suited - despite making the impression they might.
