WordPress 5.3 “Kirk” has been released.

I guess many of the people out there are running on hosted solutions, so your upgrade will happen when your hosting company decides to apply it. For those that self-host, you’re just a button press away.

This morning I’ve updated 5 separate blogs, all hosted independently, and they all went through fine. At the moment the upgrades have to be manually initiated, but I’m guessing in a few days they’ll just run through automatically.

The subject of “Best Practices” came up again yesterday in a thread on Twitter. This is a subject that rears its head every so often.

Today’s video is a brief run through creating RESTful web services using Oracle REST Data Services (ORDS) and PL/SQL.

This is based on the following article, but the article has a load more examples and variations compared to the video.

I don’t mention handling complex payloads or status information, but you can find that here.

Here’s my entry for OGB Appreciation Day 2019…

If you’ve followed me in recent times, you’ve probably heard me say something like this.

“Infrastructure is dead. It’s all about the platforms baby!”

I might not have added the “baby” though. »
