Love with Joomla is over - Long live Google App Engine

By on May 11, 2011 Comments

So if you have not noticed already, we have moved from Joomla now. TestingGeek is now hosted on Google App Engine and utilizes the power of a powerful web development framework, Django. Have a look at new and improved TestingGeek and let me know what do you think about it.

Joomla was a good CMS and it did work for me quite well, but it was a bit restrictive. I wanted to improvise it from a long time, but lack of time and little motivation to dwell into PHP always restricted me. However, things were changed last year, when I started our Test Lab and Development centre in Jodhpur, India.

We started working on the Python / Django and Google App Engine to develop two very interesting projects - iCheckWebsite and PlannedDeparture. iCheckWebsite makes it extremely easy to check and monitor website content for SEO, Accessibility and Quality and PlannedDeparture makes it possible to Manage Digital Assets and Online Identity after death. I was waiting for these projects to finish and as soon as they were finished, TestingGeek was next in line for porting.

So TestingGeek is there now on a new platform. Few interesting things you can now do on TestingGeek are

  • Give your feedback on the articles by leaving your comments
  • Share your knowledge more easily by adding small utilities, interesting links etc.
  • Keep track of and add exciting events related to software testing.
  • Keep yourself up-dated with latest news / blogs and so on.

Looks interesting? I hope so. I havn't given much thoughts on the order of articles, so you might find older articles appearing first etc.

I hope you like this new platform. Would be nice to get your feedback in the comment.

BTW, I have attended few conferences and met many interesting people from our testing community in last few weeks. I was in STP Conference @ Nashville, Watir Day and Selenium Conference @ San Francisco. It's a little late but my next post would summarise my experience.
