When And Why Should You Use Drupal or Rails For Projects

There are several reasons why we used Drupal. Even if I am a Rubyist, I also use Drupal (PHP5) for certain reasons.

When and Why Should You Use Drupal?

Capistrano Task For Loading Production Data Into Your Development Database

Capistrano Drupal Sinatra Ruby | comments

Great Sunday. I just finished backing up data of two of my sites. This blog site of mine is using Sinatra DSL which is an alternative to Ruby on Rails framework. Another site of mine runs in Drupal 6. I was able to successfully local production database for both without using PHPMYADMIN. It's all done via command line. For me, it was a time-saver.

Deploying A Drupal Site With Git and Capistrano

Drupal Git Capistrano SCM | comments

This is my first attempt to write a definitive guide on how to set up Drupal and how to deploy a Drupal site using Git and Capistrano.

Why bother using Git and Capistrano when you can just upload via FTP? Isn't it needless effort if you're a lone developer and you have good retention of the things you have done?

Adva CMS - A new state-of-the-art CMS

Programming Ruby Rails CMS Drupal i18n | comments

Hello. Finally got to blog but I'm still porting some of my old Drupal posts to Adva CMS. And I've got to say I am a recovered Drupal addict.

Comparing Drupal with Adva CMS seems to be more appropriate than comparing the Ruby on Rails framework with Drupal. Today I got a facebook message: "how well-versed are you with Drupal?"

Drupal Turns 8 and Rails 3 is Coming!

Drupal Turns 8!

It's interesting to note that Drupal 1.0.0 was released eight years ago. I just started using Drupal about 3 years ago when I was searching for an easier way to create a community website for music aficionados. I just needed some sophisticated user profile manager actually and I found Drupal a really cool tool to start with even if it was seemingly archaic compared to Wordpress because of the lack of an auto-installer during that time. Well, after 3 years of working on several Drupal projects, I could tell that it has really evolved to be the developer's CMS. Thanks to the community of developers who have relentlessly devoted their time to improve and help improve both the core and the contributions available at drupal.org.
