Getting started with SilverStripe CMS & Sapphire Framework

Sapphire is an object-oriented PHP5 web application framework, based on a Model-View-controller (MVC) architecture. SilverStripe CMS is built on this powerful, and soon standalone framework that gives developers complete flexibility of design and feature set. Weʼll run through a SilverStripe installation, project setup, and then dive into extending the CMS. Presenter: Ryan Wachtl

Surviving the IPocalypse: IPv6, Linux, and You

Everyone who has a presence on the web is going to be forced to more about IPv6 in the coming years. Get ahead of the curve! Quick, grab your smartphone, e-reader, computer and family (in that order), pack some supplies, and head for the hills! (except in Kansas, which is too flat.) The Internet as we currently know it is coming to an end! We're running out of host addresses! In a matter of months, not decades they will all be used up. Are you prepared for the single biggest network event since broadband? Say goodbye to your old friends like 209.85.225.99 and hello to 2001:4860:b007::6a (google.com). The existing IP version 4 numbering system with 32-bit addresses is nearly exhausted. In 2013, the last one will be gone. History! But, there is hope of rescue. It's not the cavalry, it's the Internet protocol version 6, with new-fangled 128-bit addresses, and it will impact every networked digital device, router and service you use. What does this all mean?
