As rare as the Hippocampus and as fleeting as the Pegasus, this special Monday edition of the Top5 is brought to you by "too much to get done on Friday"(tm). Think of it as a bonus edition though, not delayed, as this Top5 comes bearing wondrous gifts from around DevCentral. From iRules Challenges to MVP contributed Tech Tips to a special 20LoL and more, the community has borne deliciously geeky fruit of all manner the past weeks. So much so in fact that the bounty could not possibly be contained within this abbreviated format. Even still, I feel that the...
It’s Friday! Your work week is wrapping up (most of you, anyway) or perhaps it’s even over already, depending on your time zone. You’re looking forward to your weekend and trying to wrap up the last few loose ends at work to get yourself set up for a solid Monday. One of those things should be this week’s Top 5. With the 5 coolest things to grace DevCentral this week in hand, you can go spread the good word about how cool this stuff is to anyone that will listen. Well, that’s what I do, anyway. You do with it...
After another few blazingly fast weeks in the DevCentral world, I’m back with another injection of wicked cool topics from DC land. From upgrades to slick iRules to Australian escapades, to holidays, there has been much afoot as always, and there is much goodness to report on. With that, let’s get right to this week’s Top 5: SSL Profiles Part 3: Certificate Chain Implementation http://bit.ly/eAfvMW Jason is three parts into his amazing SSL Profiles series already, and I’m a major fan. In this series he’s tearing open the protocol and describing exactly how it...
Phew! Having DC5 successfully out the door, I'm happy to resume my regularly scheduled programming. I'm back, bringing you my Top5 picks off of DevCentral every week. I'll help you sort through the content pouring across the (now new and improved!) site and offer you a few things that you should definitely check out. It's good to see that the content has still been chugging away even while the team was heads down working on the new site improvements. A big thanks to the awesome community and the extended DC team folks (Lori, Pete and co.) for keeping the lights...
Time does fly when you're having fun, and trying to keep up with everything that's been going on with DevCentral is my kind of fun. I love watching what everyone is up to, from updates from the con to new folks blogging about their hippy proclivities, there's never a dull day in DC land. And all of this while we're hard at work on many things behind the scenes that aren't readily apparent just yet. Of course, I realize I may be slightly biased and not everyone is as apt to stay immersed as I am, hence the introduction of...
While ramping up for "The Next Big Thing" continues amongst the DC staff, there is much to talk about in regards to content that's happening in the here and now, not just in the eagerly awaited future (with jet-packs and stuff…). DevCentral has seen its share of cool content this week, as it does every week, so let's talk about what needs talking about. Bringing you everything from TCL strings to a philosophical discussions of when vs. where and which is more important, I'm here with my Top5 picks for the week. And here they are: When...
Side-projects and behind the scenes activities abound as the DevCentral team works towards the next goal on our plans for world domination, carefully sketched on Jeff's whiteboard. I'm glad to say that the extended DC team has been helping, as always, to keep the content flowing though, and there's plenty to highlight this week. Take a look at this week's Top5: Closing in on the iRules Contest Deadline http://devcentral.f5.com/weblogs/jason/archive/2009/09/15/closing-in-on-the-irules-contest-deadline.aspx Jason points out a very important, timely fact. It's nearly the end of your window to submit killer iRules for great prizes! The iRules contest is...
As the extended DevCentral crew continues to crank through the summer months, churning out more and more awesome content, there is lots to see. Whether you're looking for short, easily consumable pieces of media to get you pointed in the right direction or longer posts about the practicality of running your crew or your servers close to the ragged edge, I've got both for you this week. Check out this week's Top5: pyControl Apps #2 - Deleting BIG-IP Routes http://devcentral.f5.com/Default.aspx?tabid=63&articleType=ArticleView&articleId=2318 In Jason's continuation of the pyControl Apps series he continues to walk you through how...
It's been busy! The DevCentral team and all of the awesome people in our extended family have been working away, putting out all kinds of great content for your perusal. Now that we're out of the hardcore v10 push and back into a more "normal" flow of content there has been a myriad of tasty morsels flowing through the DC channels. From a posh search experience to security secrets and new wrappers, we've had plenty to talk about. Let's get to this week's Top5: The Secret of the Security Safety Dance http://devcentral.f5.com/weblogs/macvittie/archive/2009/06/03/the-secret-of-the-security-safety-dance.aspx This week Lori...
Taking the rush of content on DevCentral in stride, I'm back again with 5 more items of interest for you that you really shouldn't miss. Hopefully the week's been good for you, whether that means bug-free code, trouble free system patching or happy clients. Things haven't really slowed down here since being turned "up to 11", so there's plenty to do and digest for everyone. Amidst the always churning stream of geeky goodness that DevCentral has to offer, there are rumblings lately of very cool things to come, so keep your eyes peeled. For now I offer you my picks...
With the Real IT series in full swing, the team got together this week to hash out plans for the coming months. It's always productive and exciting when we get the team together in one room, and this was no exception. I'm eager to share with everyone all the things that are coming your way, but for now a recap of the last weeks of DevCentral's best will have to do. There has been some great content in the last couple weeks, so enjoy. TFTP Server via iRules http://devcentral.f5.com/Default.aspx?tabid=63&articleType=ArticleView&articleId=343 This example iRule that spawned out...
When I said that things were cooking, and that the knob was only going to get turned up higher, I meant it. There has been so much going on in DevCentral land, in fact, that even the Top 5 was waylaid, temporarily. Never fear, though, it can be slowed but not stopped. Between new inner-workings for our site infrastructure, and an all new video-series documenting how we got there, plus the normal, awesome content the many contributors to DevCentral have been putting out, there's plenty to see. I'll make sure to hit the highlights for this week to see if...
It's Top5 time again, and I swear it should only be Wednesday, yet the calendar says Friday. My week must have gone missing. If you see it, please let me know. I'm sure it's lonely and scared, and wants to come home. There have been so many things going on this week that it's been dizzying even for me to keep up with them…and that's kinda what I do, right? I will, however, attempt to sift through all the awesome contributions to DC to bring you the goodness you so rightly deserve, as is always my intent. This week we'll...
Welcome to the first DCTop5 of 2009! It's a new year and that means you survived the holidays, the in-laws, the traffic jams, the elections, and if you live in Seattle, record breaking snow-storms. Congratulations, it's time to do it all over. There's been so much great stuff going on in DevCentral Land in the past 12 months that it's been hard for even me to keep up at times. So when I tell you that there's even more to come, and that we're turning up the dial further still this year, believe me when I say that it's going...
Wow it's been a busy month! Travel, holidays, and so much great content coursing through DevCentral it could make your head spin. I'll do my best, as always, to guide you through the massive amounts of cool stuff and pick out a few of the gems for you to dig into. This week's Top5 is action-packed, with F5/Geeky goodness bursting from every seam, so make sure you check out each of the items below. That said, here's this week's Top5:

The past few weeks have brought with them plenty of travel, a pair of cool conferences, a great chance to spread the DC/F5 word about application goodness and integration, and much killer content flittering its way across DC's ever present feeds and pages. Now that I'm back in stride and the wake from the recent happenings has cleared I'm here yet again, as you know I would be, to point you towards some of the many cool things happening on DevCentral this week. Here's this week's DC Top5: Investigating the LTM TCP Profile: Nagle's Algorithm http://devcentral.f5.com/Default.aspx?tabid=63&articleType=ArticleView&articleId=282...
Amongst the myriad of tasty bits floating across DevCentral this week brings us a cool iControl Tech Tip from one of our usually prolific bloggers. That doesn't mean she stopped blogging, of course. Much to the contrary, her contributions were welcome as always and added to the array of info at your fingertips. Here to guide you through to some of the meatier morsels I act, as always, as your faithful guide to DevCentral goodness. Here's your Top5 for this week:
WebAccelerator Beta and Toys

Don jumps into the fray talking about the brand new news in DCLand - WebAccelerator! We've signed...
In this special Monday edition of the DC Top5 I'll recap last week's must see DevCentral hits. Along with the standard fare of cool tech info and insight, we've got another new series to introduce from a new member of the DC blogging family. I also get to share some news that got me pretty excited to hear on a somewhat personal level, though it definitely relates to our industry even if in a somewhat tangential manner. All that and more in this (last?) week's DC Top5: Protocol of the Week http://devcentral.f5.com/weblogs/kris/archive/2008/09/26/protocol-of-the-week.aspx Kris Plunkett is...
It's been a long month this week. Things have been blurring as they go whizzing by and I'm just trying to keep up. If I'm feeling like there's a lot going on, then that must mean that there's even more than normal going on with DevCentral. Hopefully that's an indication that there's more reason than ever to keep putting out the Top5. I'll doll out my picks from the week that I think are "must see" items amongst the torrential cascade of content that is DevCentral as I always do, and hope that you all agree. That said, here's this...
This week Don and Joe traveled to Boston while Jeff and I held things down here at DC Headquarters. Those guys were even contributing while on the road…hawesome as they are. There was plenty going on this week on DevCentral including a great announcement, so be sure to check out this week's Top5. Speaking of which, here it is: Support, Social Technology, and Trust http://devcentral.f5.com/weblogs/JeffB/archive/2008/09/11/3607.aspx Probably the most exciting news from the world of DevCentral this week is that we've entered into Forrester's Groundswell competition for social networking sites. Jeff's blog post discussing what that is, why...
It's almost the end of summer. Kids are back in school, vacations are wrapping up, and everyone's hunkering down for the fall months. DevCentral is as active as ever, and it's only going to amplify as the team keeps on kicking out the jams. I'm hoping this means the Top5 is even more useful as I walk you through what's been going on this week in DCLand and show you some of the things I think are a "must-see". That said, here's your Top5: The First VIPRION Review http://devcentral.f5.com/weblogs/Joe/archive/2008/09/03/the-first-viprion-review.aspx Faster than a speeding bullet and able to...
