A Mac Web Developer's Perspective: Replacing FireFox With Google Chrome (or no more bloat)
If you are a web developer, like me you have probably grown to rely on FireFox as a web development tool.

From Joomla to Drupal: One Year Later, a Switcher’s Tale (part two)

Almost one year ago, I took on the task of developing my first Drupal site. Having primarily been a Joomla developer for the past 3 years, this felt like a daunting task as I have always heard that Drupal is hard to use and not user friendly.
