The books get an upgrade


 

The backend of the textbook site has been upgraded. The platform has been moved to the latest release of Zikula, a content management system based upon modern, well-maintained technologies including Symfony, Doctrine, Twig, JQuery, Bootstrap, and Font Awesome.  This strong stable foundation will impact the book in a few ways:

  1. You will notice that pages are served faster.

  4. I also hope to use the News module more, adding more updates about microbiology going forward.

I hope you continue to enjoy using the site.
