'New' Web Content Management - A Hybrid Approach: Content / REST / Front End JS Apps / Security
RWX / CDX
Fort Lauderdale · December 3 - 6, 2013
About this Presentation
Content sites are problematic. Usually because you need more than a simple content site! You also need Front End Apps mixed in with the content pages, and you need Restful services for those front end apps. Mix in your company's SSO / Security system of choice, and you have a real mess. If this describes your company's come and see how I have simplified the problem.
In this presentation I will show you how I have combined Octopress, a Jekyll based content generation system, with Dropwizard, a super simple REST framework out of Yammer, and Front End JS Apps, securing it all with our company's SSO.
There is another added bonus to this solution, it's fast and scales horizontally.
