Wordpress Vs Joomla Vs Drupal

WORDPRESS
It is just for blogging systems and few cms pages manage through WYSIWYG Editor without more complex form fields integration.

Wordpress Pros
* Simple to use - No need for modifications
* Excellent for blogging or sharing thoughts in a sequential manner
* Even the most elderly of users can get the hang of it quickly

Wordpress Cons

* Not developer friendly
* The community seems to like to complain
* Upgrades bring more bugs than fixes sometimes


# DRUPAL
It is for developers and can hand-code the content of your pages than use a WYSIWYG Editor, or if you enjoy tweaking the code that makes up the framework of a website, then Drupal is probably for you.

Drupal Pros

* Extremely developer friendly. If I loved code more I would almost always pick this system.
* Strong community to help discern the dozens (hundreds) of functions and tags available.
* Can be used to create some really awesome websites that can outperform a majority of other sites out there.

Drupal Cons

* Not very designer and user-friendly. It's hard for someone with little code knowledge to make the leaps required to do the very cool things that Drupal is becoming known for.
* Theming of Drupal has been a huge case of fail (until recently). Probably because it has been developers, not designers, that are making the themes.
* Getting a Drupal website published could cost you more time, and thus more money, than Wordpress or Joomla.


# JOOMLA
It is userfriendly for all type of people i.e designers, developers and admins. Where as it is not so powerful as compare to Drupal.

Joomla Pros

* Friendly for all types of users - Designers, Developers and Administrators
* Huge community is awesome for assisting with creation of websites
* Has been rapidly growing and improving itself for the past three years

Joomla Cons

* Still not user-friendly enough for everyone to understand
* Not quite as powerful as Drupal, and can be a bit confusing for some to jump into
* Recently rebuilt the entire system from ground-up, and so there are still many out there sticking to the old versions (1.0.x)

Joomla Vs Drupal

Comparison between Drupal and Joomla

Use Joomla if you want to get nice looking site up quickly and can deal with a slower system, rigid content categorization and limited design/configuration options.

Use Drupal if you want high performance, scalability, good content management and significant design flexibility. But, be prepared to spend a lot of time/money to get the site to look professional.

When caching is disabled Joomla can serve 19 pages per second, while Drupal can serve 13 pages per second. Hence, Joomla is 44% faster than Drupal.

However, when caching is enabled Joomla can serve 21 pages per second, while Drupal can serve 67 pages per second. Here, Drupal is 319% faster than Joomla.

In other words, Joomla's cache system improves performance by 12%, while Drupal's cache system improves performance by 508%.

Use mysql_real_escape_string() function to avoid mysql injections

// Query database to check if there are any matching users
$query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE user='{$_POST['username']}' AND password='{$_POST['password']}'";
mysql_query($query);

// We didn't check $_POST['password'], it could be anything the user wanted! For example:
$_POST['username'] = 'admin';
$_POST['password'] = "' OR ''='";
// This means the query sent to MySQL would be:
echo $query;
?>

The query sent to MySQL as:

SELECT * FROM users WHERE user='admin' AND password='' OR ''=''

This would allow anyone to log in without a valid password.


Solution:
// Query
$query = sprintf("SELECT * FROM users WHERE user='%s' AND password='%s'",
mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['user']),
mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['password']));
?>
Here mysql_real_escape_string function prepends backslashes to the following characters: \x00, \n, \r, \, ', " and \x1a to make data safe before sending a query to MySQL. So user can't hack your database.

Wordpress Vs Drupal

Hi, here is my view about where to use wordpress and where to use drupal.

Wordpress
# If your application doesn't contain so many dynamic content forms and have to manage some static pages of information and need a bloging system.

It should suitable company portfolio sites and simple to medium level websites.

Drupal
# If you have multiple dynamic content types (press releases, news articles, blog posts, etc.). Drupal is great at allowing you to create this stuff on the fly, with Wordpress you are hacking things together.
# If your site has more than a two template design structure (homepage and second levels).
# If you have numerous content blocks on the homepage or in sidebars that you will be editing frequently. Drupal’s block system is great at this kind of stuff.
# If you are trying to start small and expect your site to add tons of features/content moving forward.
It should suitable for complex websites which involves so many modules.

(QA) Testing, Staging and Production environments are now available with Heroku

Hi There,
Deploying application in multiple environements is a better approach for a successfull appliation. This is the default behaviour of the rails application to maintain deployment in development, testing and production environments. Development and testing versions are live on developer's local system and production environement lives on actual server.
Now heroku offers us to maintain the application with these three evnironments in live server withing heroku so that clients and your colleagues can provide feedback and suggestions on your application before pushing them to production.

Ex: If you want to deploy an application called "myapp" in Heroku. First create the production,staging and testing(QA) versions of the application, should use --remote option to override the defaults for the git repository names.

$ heroku create myapp-production --remote production
$ heroku create myapp-staging --remote staging
$ heroku create myapp-qa --remote qa

Now, if you want to deploy code to a particular environemt, do so by specifying the appropriate option
Ex:
$ git push staging master

and if you need to run db migrations use below

$ heroku rake db:migrate --remote staging
Finally, If you probably want to periodically copy your production data into your staging environment:

$ heroku db:pull --remote production

$ heroku db:push --remote staging

Now, when you want to deploy code to a particular environment, do so by specifying the appropriate remote:

$ git push staging master

And if you need to run migrations:

$ heroku rake db:migrate --remote staging

Finally, you will probably want to periodically copy your production data into your staging environment:

$ heroku db:pull --remote production

$ heroku db:push --remote staging

Note: Keep in mind that any environment variables you create or add-ons you add must be duplicated across environments for a consistent experience. For example, if you begin using memcache on your staging app, be sure to install it on your production app before you deploy your new code.
