• How was Oxite designed?

    1/4/2010
      So I have been examining the code for Oxite latest build 53271, as I mentioned before there is different design behind this build and the last stable build. Disclaimer: I don’t work at Microsoft, nor do I have affiliation with the developers of Oxite, this post reflects my opinion about the code as I see it and go through it.  At first glance I thought the only modules on Oxite are Blogs, CMS, Setup, Conferences and Bing     But as I examined the code further, I found out that on the Oxite project there is the following Modules

  • Oxite different versions architecture

    12/30/2009
    I sat today to write about Oxite to try to break it down and understand it better. As I went through the code for the current version that I have (build 23315) I figured there is many things that I needed to educate myself about in this project, and reading of the current available document about the architecture wasn’t of much help for me.   So I decided to download the latest version (build 53271) to see which areas was changed and try to figure out the strategy behind the design from there.

  • A look at Oxite TheLab skin

    12/28/2009
    I will be using TheLab skin for Oxite by Nathan Heskew to demonstrate how to create your own skin, or just customizing this skin.

  • Searching for code base for the next Web 2.0 CMS

    12/27/2009
    7 years ago, particularly in 2002, I built a Content Management System using Classic ASP, and SQL Server 7. That CMS was good for that time, but since that I have developed many other websites after that had a control panel where you can edit your articles, posts, or news name it what you will. but to me those are all pieces of content whether that is a picture, a video, audio, article, blog post, a comment or a user profile. they all are pieces of content from a database design prospective.
