Last year, GX implemented a new development philosophy for our software development unit called Open Development. Why did we do this? Find out in this new blog entry!

Last week, at our customer event in De Fabrique in Utrecht, the Netherlands, we officially launched the GX WebManager Community Edition. As a visitor of this website this is probably old news for you, as it was already available for a few weeks here. It's a free edition of our flagship product, perfectly usable for your websites.

In GX WebManager 9, the platform and the components have been separated. Modifying the platform implies checking if the other functionalities of the platform are still intact. Making changes to a component implies only checking if that specific component still behaves as expected. As a result, the engine of GX WebManager will always as be stable as the last release and will have a non-changing interface with the components. Only individual components (called WCBs, WebManager Component Bundles) can be modified and therefore be corrupted.

This article gives an overview of the integration possibilities of WebManager Component Bundles (WCBs) and Portlets. It also explains how these two concepts are complementary and can be used together for a more effective online channel.

Welcome on my weblog, and welcome at our new website: www.gxdeveloperweb.com. This website is one of the visual results of our strategy as a company to be even more open and agile to our stakeholders, in this case primarily developers. What can you expect of us on this website?
