Key topics include: Content modelling & organisation Content delivery Findability Personalisation User participationIndependent of specific tools and technologies, the patterns serve as a practical guide to designing your own content-related custom components for your web project and can be used to define an architecture that matches your specific needs. The patterns in this book not only seek to align code and content as far as functionality is concerned, but also focus on non-functional requirements.Aimed at IT professionals involved in web projects, including software designers, developers, IT managers and architects, Where Code and Content Meet will help you to evolve the architecture of your site and smoothly integrate new functionality. Likewise, if software longevity is your goal and you plan to refactor your website, this book will lead you to take the right steps.
