I still remember when the future of the content management system (CMS) dawned on me; I was reading A List Apart article titled, “CMS and the Single Web Designer.” Until reading that, I had been plugging away in HTML making Web sites whose pages and designs had to be updated individually. “There has to be a better way”, I thought to myself. The content management system seemed to be that solution. I might even go so far as to say it is the modern answer to running a Web site. Whether you are using Blogger, Wordpress, Vingette, Joomla, Plone, Mambo, or Drupal, it’s hard to find a site these days that doesn’t use some sort of CMS. Over the last six years, we have seen the strong growth of content management software. In fact, the problem today is not finding a CMS to use — it’s picking which one to use. Sites such as CMSWire and The CMS Matrix have sprung up simply to meet this need and OpenSourceCMS has live demos of over 100 CMS scripts. Along with this shift in powering Web sites has been a growth of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). The details of this philosophy of code development is beyond the scope of a blog post, but the underlying kingpins of most of the Web, Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP (often referred to as LAMP) have become mainstream. Ten years ago few people had heard of Linux; now a quick poll in your local coffee shop will show its visibility. Looking something up on Wikipedia or surfing a Wordpress blog have become a daily activity for millions, all driven by the growth of FOSS. |
