DevCentral

DevCentral is the community site for F5 Networks' technology users, with a primary focus on software development and network staff. While we often have discussions that are relevant to all of enterprise IT, those conversations are the offshoot of the activity and feedback of our core community. We are proud to be the only community out there that truly connects networking professionals with software architects and developers. With the growing need for scalable dynamic networks, communication between these groups is essential and DevCentral has provided a conduit for communication and efficient coordination.

Great for partners too Reviewed September 19, 2008
by jhsy  from Palo Alto, CA

My company is partner of F5 and DevCentral has been a goldmine of information and a fantastic resource. DevCentral enabled us to create a Big-IP integrated product with iRules and iControl in an amazingly short amount of time. In fact, we had a working prototype in less than a week by using examples and help from DevCentral. Also, there are many core F5 developers active on DevCentral as well as other experts within the user community that seems to always respond quickly to questions and requests for help. When we first found iRules and iControl, we thought that was way cool. Then we found DevCentral and we thought that was brilliant!

Wide Ranging and Extensive Help Reviewed September 18, 2008
by Paulg8obcrest  from Wellington, New Zealand

DevCentral is excellent. As an F5 distributor, I am always looking for solutions and ideas to both opportunities and problems that arise on a day-to-day basis.
I always include numerous references to DevCentral and it helps us win business when used in combination with AskF5.
The best story I have about DevCentral when propsects do a reference check with other customers. Every customer cited DevCentral as one of the key factors as to why they liked F5 Networks.

The F5 Devcentral team is fantastic! Reviewed September 18, 2008
by jonnusa  from Scottsdale, AZ

I needed some help with an iControl to enable our Operators to limit connections during maintenance. I uploaded what I had written and asked for help. I expected we might get a reply in a few days. Joe from F5 responded within an hour and helped me write exactly what I needed. I was able to report to our project team that we were ahead of schedule. How often does a vendor help you say that - Thank you Joe!!

Insightful & Helpful Reviewed September 17, 2008
by olympian  from Chicago

I love DevCentral. Not only does it give useful tips on how to better use my F5 gear (LTM, GTM, WebAccelerator, and FirePass) but gets me thinking about how to address some key projects in my company. Coverage of everything of the impact of AJAX on the network, Flash, and cloud computing. It keeps my day to day work relevant to emerging trends. It's become one of my top 3 sites.

The embodiment of community Reviewed September 15, 2008
by citizenElah  from St Louis, MO

I joined DevCentral a few years ago searching for help in solving a terminal server problem, and found not only the resolution, but several alternatives that might be a better fit. I was drawn immediately by the individuals that possessed such a sense of pride and expertise regarding their flagship product. Since then, the content has grown richer and more helpful, and the staffers and community participants continue to provide excellent support and insight. DevCentral is like extended family.

Hugely Valuable Reviewed September 12, 2008
by fewz  from Atlanta, GA

For me, F5's Dev Central community has been a key for information, new ideas, and excellent user-driven threads.
F5 has literally defined their market and have by far the most vision when it comes to application delivery (they may have even come up with this catch phrase!). Since what most everyone *really* cares about are the apps, F5 becomes an important element in the architecture, and their Dev Central site helps keep the ideas flowing.

Very Useful Reviewed September 12, 2008
by Jason  from UK

I really like what F5 are doing. They are covering the gap between the network and the applications, so finally we can work together. You see this in dev central as well. There are lots of network discussion topics etc as well as lots of application configuration help and advice. Very useful indeed!

Why F5 & DC4 Rocks!! Reviewed September 11, 2008
by Zeus  from Boston, MA

As an architect I can code down into the network to optimize and accelerate applications, virtualize and secure servers and services, and be confident that all the commodity functions like SSL, caching, compression, persistence... are done with performance designed network components. DC4 is the support mechanism, the community and master of my domain. F5 and DC4 ensure me ultimate IT Agility and application infrastructure support
