beTech Presents: Lightweight, Low-investment CMS

This Wednesday, April 18th, Doug Chestnut and Mark Corum will present their latest mad, mad creation—a lightweight, low-investment XML publishing toolset using nothing more than Apache with some mods, Subversion, and a little bit of Ajaxy JavaScript. Throwing caution (and most of the documented warnings) to the wind, Doug and Mark have assembled a Content Management System (CMS) with off-the-shelf tools that has the flexibility to adapt to new technology. If you’ve been looking for a low-overhead CMS and would like to get in on the fun, come on out and see what’s cooking.

Doug and Mark work as web programmers/developers for the UVa Library Communications Department.

  1. I’m bummed I couldn’t make it to the presentation, is there an online demo or technical overview anywhere?

  2. I missed it, too! Any chance of doing a repeat performance?

  3. Here’s a PDF of the presentation from Mark: lightweight-cms.pdf. We’ll see if we can get them to reprise their performance!
