The OSTraining Podcast #25: Beka Rice on eCommerce and the GDPR
Some people have scanned a few blog posts about the GDPR. Very few people have researched it deeply and really know what they're talking about. Beka Rice is firmly in the latter group.
Beka works for SkyVerge, who develop WooCommerce and Shopify plugins, plus Jilt, which helps stores to recover abandoned carts. I spoke with Beka on the day that the GDPR law launched.

The Ultimate JCE Guide
There is one extension that we install on every single Joomla site build: Joomla Content Editor.
JCE has been around since 2006 and has been outstanding since it's launch.
It makes everything easier when you're writing Joomla articles: linking, formatting, adding images, spell-checking, create tables and much more.
It's built by Ryan Demmer at http://JoomlaContentEditor.net.
So, it made sense for us to sit down and write the Ultimate JCE Guide. I used JCE of course.

The OSTraining Podcast #24: Jerry Eadeh on the Past and Future of Magento
When we scheduled this podcast, I planned to talk about the history of Magento. Jerry works for Nexcess, a hosting company that is famous for their Magento services. They've been there since Day 1. When the original Magento team were getting started, they needed hosting help with their first clients, and they called Nexcess. Nexcess even sponsored our Magento 2 Explained book!
But, just two days before this podcast, the news broke that Adobe was purchasing Magento. The Magento community was in shock.
In this episode, we try and digest the Adobe news. We talk about the history of Magento and try to figure out if that helps us understand what comes next for Magento.
