Hello Community, Had a vacation last week, splitting time between Gettysburg and Virginia Beach. I'm a history buff, but my wife & daughters definitely preferred the beach! Now for some updates on what the community has been up to over the last month.
Community Projects The space of community-driven projects for bootstrapping and deploying MarkLogic projects is expanding. Besides the Roxy Deployer<https://github.com/marklogic/roxy>, Rob Rudin has ml-app-deployer<https://github.com/rjrudin/ml-app-deployer> as a Java and MarkLogic Management API-based project. His ml-gradle<https://github.com/rjrudin/ml-gradle> project accesses that functionality through Gradle, a Java-based task runner. Check out the GitHub projects to contribute or try them out. There's also an early-stage project that uses Node.js and the Management API to provide the same functionality for the Node world. I'll talk about that when it gets a little further along; in the meantime let me know if you're interested in this project. Here's a fun one: Phil Barber put together a survey tool built on MarkLogic, called QuestionLemur. https://github.com/BillFarber/QuestionLemur DMC As techies get to work on MarkLogic, they typically need to pick up some new skills. Two new posts on the blog this month explore what people figured out as they got started. Susan Lee offers some tips for those new to JSON<http://developer.marklogic.com/blog/FirstJSONDoc>, while Gabo Manuel looks at some common missteps for those coming to MarkLogic with a relational database background<http://developer.marklogic.com/blog/group-by-the-marklogic-way>. Learning Check out the new "XML and JSON Data Modeling Best Practices" On Demand course<http://mlu.marklogic.com/ondemand/> from MarkLogic University! Enjoy the rest of your summer (for those in the northern hemisphere)!
