Floating (and coding) on Cloud9
I was always a bit skeptical of the whole Cloud IDE thing, that was until recently when I gave Cloud9 a shot. I must admit, I was surprised when I read the Engineering Orientation wiki page for one of our clients, Vroom.com, as it suggested I create a Cloud9 IDE account as part of my project setup. What??
I figured I’d give it a try…
Ready to sweat for RhinoCo Fitness

Drupal 8: Views scrollTop behavior
It’s a weird piece of Drupal 8 out-of-the-box behavior: each time after you AJAX-load a views block with exposed filter, you are scrolled to the top of the block! It’s especially tiresome for mobile device users… Is there a way that we can fix it??
Removing this behavior entirely is a massive improvement. Here is a recipe to circumvent the issue for Drupal 7 – but it won’t work for Drupal 8! But search no more. Here for you is the exact solution:

TechTalk Wrap Up: Stacy
This past Wednesday evening, at our HQ in New York, Boyle Software’s VP of R&D Lev Gimelfarb gave an excellent TechTalk on his latest development effort: Stacy. It was a fantastic way to reinvigorate our TechTalk series after a long hiatus! We had a good turn out of Boyle Software employees as well as several colleagues, clients, and friends. Pizza was consumed, beverages were imbibed, and we all learned some new things…
Stacy: S3-served dynamic websites
Serving a website from Amazon S3 is great: it’s fast, it’s inexpensive, and it doesn’t require maintaining a web server. But this simplicity can be limiting, coming at a price: you can only serve absolutely static files; there is no server-side logic whatsoever.
On the other hand, we are now seeing the rise of so called “API-first content management systems.” These systems, in true cloud spirit, are usually provided as a hosted service, give you a standardized user interface for structuring and managing your content, but do not deal with any aspects of your content presentation. They don’t deal with themes, templates, pages, etc. Instead, you have a fast and simple RESTful API that gives you access to your content and you are free to render it with whatever presentation you want outside of the CMS.

CoreMedia at dmexco 2016

Non-zero length redirects in Drupal
Those of you hosting Drupal sites on Acquia might come across this issue: enabling compressed cached pages leads to Varnish errors instead of redirects. As explained by Acquia support, this happens because Varnish tries to unzip zero-length response – and, naturally, then fails. Your options for solutions are to purchase a dedicated balancer configuration – or make the response non-zero (for instance, add the “Redirecting…” text into the body).
