Innovation Celebration 2013

By Shawna Culp on March 3, 2013

A few weeks ago, Pixo attended the Innovation Celebration 2013.

This celebration has taken place annually since 2006. It is an awards ceremony to recognize the spirit of innovation that is exceptionally present in the Champaign-Urbana community and has grown from 40 to 250 attendees in the past 7 years.

So, you want to be a programmer?

By Vincent Fulton on October 2, 2012

With the rise of technology, there has been a rise in programming languages. With a growing list of languages, including C, C++, PHP, ASP, Java, and Python, how should a prospective developer get started?

When dealing with programming, there should almost always be a target in mind. I advise picking a project or an area of interest and programming around it. This can narrow down the vast amount of options available. If you enjoy web development, maybe you should learn PHP or ASP. If you enjoy mobile development, maybe you should start with Java or Objective-C.

Developer and Designer

By Vincent Fulton on July 5, 2012

In the rapidly changing world of web development, more and more career fields come together to get a perfectly polished product. One bond occurring in almost every office/building is the love-hate relationship between programmer and designer. This relationship has occurred since the dawn of the windows system (meaning X windowing and not Microsoft Windows) and will continue to evolve over time. For today though; enter the mind of one programmer and visualize an almost perfect world.

WordPress Sites Hacked

By Andy on June 20, 2012

This week, we discovered one of our Wordpress sites was hacked. Anyone who’s been the victim of a Wordpress exploit knows the feelings and thoughts swirling about your head. “How could this happen?” is probably the first question that comes to mind, followed by the why, when, and who. “How do we disinfect and prevent it from happening again?” was of course the first concern. By documenting how we cleaned our Wordpress infection and modified our security processes, we hope that you can prevent the same from happening in your environment.

Mobile-Friendly and Responsive

The biggest change coming in Drupal 8 is the built-in support for mobile. Drupal aims to be a leading platform for mobile content creation and consumption.
