Joomla, Drupal and Wordpress CMS - Feb 2017 meetup

Closed this issue · 1 comments


Drupal is a robust CMS/CMF (content management system/framework) that empowers developers to rapidly create web applications. It is built on top of the LAMP (linux, apache, mysql php) stack and is powering many highly prestigious sites.

I propose a crash course talk and workshop that will explain the basics, demystify all the daunting concepts and provide some building experience:

Basic installation, concepts and terminology, user/content management, site building with contributed modules and best practices.
Drupal architecture. The hooking mechanism. Code examples.
Putting it all together: Quick creation of a real life web app.

WordPress is the most used Open Source CMS in the web. This happens because of its simplicity (both in using and developing). WordPress is suitable for blogs and more complex websites, but it's not a panacea.

I would like to talk about WordPress in general and get deeper about how to develop your own theme and/or plugin.
