Drupal, Development Technical Notes Update

Listing updates to Blog entries for Drupal development using Ubuntu Linux mainly to catch up tech notes, I'll list the ones from Tumblr at some point as there are more notes overall there and that is where most are posted.

• Drupal 8 Development in PHP
• Drupal 8 Alpha Contributed Module: Google Books
• Ubuntu 16.04 Drupal Web Dev Quick Setup Notes
• Drupal 7 Configuration Technical-Notes
• Drupal 8 Migration Tutorials

These are groups of the main tech notes I made in the last year. Not all of them are Drupal, but many are.

Semantic Scholar New Site

Noticed a new site called Semantic Scholar that has pulls from various research. Some interesting graphics on the MASC - Multiple Instruction Stream Associative Computer model. They seem to have most original texts available like this one on PRAM vs MASC. Interesting, I think.

Quick: Apache Spark a 'Fast' Post

Over at the other blog site made a 'quick' post about Apache Spark thinking that it is good that parallel computing is taking off as we have more and more data and cluster computing is commonplace now with AWS and Google-Cloud.

GitHub Darrell Ulm Profile Page - Open Source Software

Posted here is a link to the profile page of Darrell Ulm for GitHub which has Open Source code in several languages such as C/C++/C#, PHP/MySQL, Assembly Language, and Unity3d.

Some projects include Unity3d/C# code for a grid based game of tile matching, some code for Koha ILS in PHP/MySQL, a game for Unity3d Tap the Object type App, a Data-Parallel Compiler Optimizer written in C, and a module for Drupal called Google Books which loads data into text fields.

GitHub is definitely a great resource for Open Source software development, software workflow, and software development in general and gets better year to year and it seems like almost everyone is using it is some way for some coded project.

Some other links to this content are: Blogger, Wordpress, and Tumblr.
