3 Open Source Content Management Systems that are shaping the future of the web
When it comes to Open Source Content Management Systems, there are three out there that are taking the Net by storm:
- Drupal
- Joomla!
- Wordpress
I have conversations with people from time to time who want to argue about whether or not one of these is better than another. I really think that they all are the best for what they do for end users. I like to say that Drupal is more for developers, Joomla is more for novice end users and WordPress is for the average Joe. Each of them has their strengths and weaknesses.
Drupal has a pretty high learning curve, but it is very powerful! Drupal is GREAT for someone that wants extremely flexible content and a custom theme. I like to think that with Core Drupal, CCK and Views you can accomplish just about any task there is! I've built sites as complicated as an online library and as simple as a contact form with it.
