Ein Rückblick auf 7 Jahre TU Wien

Ich habe vor kurzem mein Informatikstudium an der TU Wien abgeschlossen, Zeit für einen kleinen Rückblick. Obwohl in diesem Artikel auch viele für mich negative Dinge vorkommen werden, so habe ich doch die Jahre sehr genossen, viel dazu gelernt und viele interessante Menschen getroffen. Ich möchte diesen Lebensabschnitt nicht missen und würde mich wohl wieder für die TU Wien entscheiden.

Web Service Composition in Drupal

A master thesis written by Klaus Purer at the Vienna University of Technology, released in May 2011.

Abstract:

Building web applications has become a complex task and often requires interaction with other web applications, such as web services. Drupal is a free and open source content management system and framework that provides a rich platform for rapid web development. The modular and extensible nature of Drupal allows developers to customize and embrace the core functionality and to create new features. This thesis is about investigating and implementing a web service client module for Drupal that is able to consume classical WS* web services as well as RESTful web services.

Running PHP 5.3 and 5.2 in parallel with nginx

The problem: you want to upgrade your Ubuntu server, but you still need PHP 5.2 for some old web sites (i.e. Drupal 5 is not PHP 5.3 compatible).
The solution: Go with the packaged PHP 5.3 for your new sites and compile PHP 5.2 yourself for the old ones. As we use the nginx webserver with FastCGI, we can choose per site which PHP CGI binary will handle the requests.
