What is Drupal?
Drupal is a open source software package that gives individuals, communities, companies, organisations the ability to simply publish and manage a wide variety of content on a website. Its realease is under a licence called GNU, General Public Licence, which means its free to use at all levels. Free = free beer
This method provides the website owner a "peace of mind scenario" as drupal is widely used by ( IBM, Adobe, MIT, Harvard University, Yahoo, Coolmatters, Bubble Crafts, Design Web Services, Universal Music to name a few ), literaly tens of thousands of companies, communities, organisations and individuals, which means there is a huge number of designers and developers implementing Drupal CMS.
How does Drupal work?
Drupal works by using PHP and MYSQL on a Linux OS ( again free to use open source technologies ) which together provide dynamic data display and storage, it manifests itself through the configuration of modules ( plugins lots of free ones ) together to create your ideal solution.
