I recently started learning Liferay Theming for a project at work. It’s been a while since I tried a new CMS, so I was a bit excited to learn something unknown to me. Liferay is a Java-based CMS and as I am more familiar with PHP and PHP-based CMS such as WordPress and Joomla, that’s an added challenge if I’d like to venture on making portlets (equivalent to plugins).

Today I found the article Liferay PHP Developers Guide by Dennis Monsewicz through Liferay’s Twitter account which I follow. Apparently in Liferay you can develop portlets in PHP, ASP, JSP, Ruby, Groovy, Python, etc. “Scripting language agnostic”. =) Nice.
