Join For FreeBy now, you've probably heard the news: DZone Inc. (our parent company) is now known as Devada. We've also moved our headquarters from the cozy-but-cramped second floor of a dentist's office to fancy new digs in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.
Whoa.
Big things, indeed. We're super excited about our new office (Daily food trucks! Yoga classes! Resident beehives!), and we can't wait to show you all the new things we're planning for the coming months. In the meantime, I'm here with September's leaderboards:

September's Publications
In September, our illustrious publications team released the 2018 Guide to Security. If you're interested in security (and really, if you aren't, why are you here?), now is the time to read up on shifting left to protect your applications, reducing the risk of hacking, using AI to kick your security up a notch, and much more.
DZone also published three Refcardz in September:
Data Warehousing (updated)
Compliant DevOps (new)
Editors' Picks: Noga Cohen and Soroush Saffari
Thanks to Noga Cohen with CA BlazeMeter for helping our editors recruit so many new contributors! The BlazeMeter blog regularly posts a ton of great stuff, and she's always there to help us get permission to repost articles from newer authors and make sure they're signed up with DZone profiles.
Soroush Saffari is a new MVB with Grakn Labs who recently published a thoroughly awesome tutorial in the Database Zone called "Who's Calling? Model and Load a Schema Into a Knowledge Graph." We really appreciate your great writing, Soroush, and we want to encourage you to keep at it!
September was a busy month in our world, and it went fast. On that note, someone please wake up Green Day.
Okay, okay! Stop groaning so loudly; I'll show myself out.
