Web scraping is the set of techniques used the to get some information, structured only for presentation purposes, from a website automatically instead of copying it manually. This article by Javier Collado will show how this could be done using python in the steps that require some development.

These days, Model View Controller (MVC) is a buzzword in the ASP.NET community, thanks to the upcoming ASP.NET MVC Framework that Microsoft is expected to launch soon. The Framework allows easier adoption of the different MVC patterns in our web applications.In this article by Vivek Thakur, we discuss ASP.NET MVC Framework in detail with the help of a Sample Project. We also take a glance at Unit Testing with reference to ASP.NET MVC Framework.
The ASP.NET MVC framework was released by Microsoft as an alternative approach to webforms when creating ASP.NET based web applications. The ASP.NET MVC framework is not a replacement or upgrade of webforms, but merely another way of programming your web applications so that we can get the benefits of an MVC design with much less effort.

Jeff Potts | November 2008 | Content Management Open Source
People have been using Alfresco to manage web content since the early days of the product. In 2007, Alfresco released its formal web content management functionality that added features most people expect when they think of a Web Content Management (WCM) offering, including templating, site preview, snapshots, virtualization, and deployment. WCM is a specialized subset of the larger Enterprise Content Management (ECM) umbrella that is focused specifically on authoring, managing, and publishing files used to produce a website.
In this article by Jeff Potts, we will discuss how to create a web project and define web forms using XML Schema to allow non-technical users to create content.

Andre Bogus | November 2008 | Linux Servers Open Source
In this article by Andre Bogus, we will be focusing on migrating from Apache to Lighttpd web server. Lighttpd is the perfect solution for every server that is suffering load problems, as it has a small memory footprint compared to other web-servers, effective management of the cpu-load, and advanced feature set, such as FastCGI, SCGI, Auth, Output-Compression, URL-Rewriting, and many more. Apache is still the most common web server used today, so while we wait for Lighttpd's world domination, the migration from this server warrants its own article. As this article is on Lighttpd and not on Apache, it assumes some knowledge of the Apache configuration. If anything is unclear, the Apache documentation at http://apache.org/docs/ will be of help.

Samisa Abeysinghe | November 2008 | Architecture & Analysis MySQL PHP Web Development
Resource-Oriented clients are client programs that consume services designed in accordance with the REST architectural principles. The key REST principles include:
- The concept of resource (for example, a document is a resource)
- Every resource given a unique ID (for example, document URL)
- Resources can be related (for example, One document linking to another)
- Use of standard (HTTP, HTML, XML)
- Resources can have multiple forms (for example, status of a document, updated, validated, deleted)
- Communicate in a stateless fashion using HTTP (for example, subsequent requests not related to each other)
In this article by Samisa Abeysinghe, we will study how we can implement clients to consume those services. We will use a real-world example, the simplified library system, to learn from scratch how to design clients with REST principles in mind.
