The holidays have passed, the new year is upon us and there is much geeky
goodness to be thankful for. I am thankful for the forums and the wikis, the
tech tips and blogs. I am thankful for the outstanding community that drives
it all, and the supporting cast of hundreds within F5 that helps support this
DevCentral thing we get to do. I am so thankful, in fact, that I am here to
share five of my favorite recent DevCentral additions with you. Hurried over
the holidays? Nagged after the new year? Fall behind on your feeds? Never
fear, I'm more than happy to give you my Top5 picks from past weeks to give
you a place to start. Keep in mind there will always be more goodness on
DevCentral than anyone could pack into a single missive, even someone as
wordy as me, so be sure to get out there and check it out for yourselves. For
now, though, here is my first DevCentral Top ... (more)
What could you do with your code in 20 Lines or Less? That's the question I
ask (sometimes?) every week for the DevCentral community, and every week I go
looking to find cool new examples that show just how flexible and powerful
iRules can be without getting in over your head.
This week nitass and hoolio deliver the 1-2-3 punch with 3 cool iRules to
perform various tasks that I deem useful, or interesting, or...both. We get a
look at dealing with destination servers with a dynamic IP, handling SSL and
non SSL connections on the same VIP to proxy both seamlessly, and selecting a... (more)
In a shocking turn of events, the gracious sales readiness team invited me
back to yet again present an iRules Challenge to the inbound FSEs during
their multi-week grooming process here at F5 Seattle, lovingly known as "boot
camp". It's a joy for me to be a part of these boot camps not only because I
get to geek out about iRules and dream up challenges to get people more
involved with DevCentral and iRules, two of my main squeezes in the tech
world. But also because it's killer to see the talent rolling through, chat
with some of them about how and why they ended up here at F5, ... (more)

Well we made it to 30 editions of the 20LoL. Soon we’ll break 100 iRule
examples that are under 21 lines of code each. Pretty neat stuff, if you
ask me. This week is the hoolio show, it seems. The guy is just a monster
in the forums, what can I say? I sure am glad he’s on our side. I’ve
got three example... (more)
Wow! What a whirlwind it's been the past few weeks. Between holidays and
vacation and people traveling out of town, it's been an absolute zoo around
here. Though I've been out the past week or so there has been an avalanche of
content. I've hemmed and hawed and finally managed to slim my picks down to
just five, though there are at least a dozen awesome things worth checking
out on DevCentral in the past week or so. So don't be shy, get out there and
poke around for yourself. For now, though, here are my top 5 picks for the
week:

Coming from a *Nix Software Engineering background, Colin is no stranger to long hours of coding, testing and deployment. His personal experiences such as on-stage performance and the like have helped to foster the evangelist in him. These days he splits his time between coding, technical writing and evangalism. He can be found on the road to just about anywhere to preach the good word about ADCs, Application Aware networking, Network Side Scripting and geekery in general to anyone that will listen.
