Drupal Content Management System . It's easy to install, and immensely adaptable
In simple language we can say that Drupal is a content management system that makes use of modules to allow site administrators to organize and display content,customize appearance and manage routine tasks, such as registration for websites requiring user names and passwords.

Within minutes of installing this PHP framework, you can have a feature-rich, database-driven site with no knowledge of programming required. And you can add off-the-shelf contributed modules to add even more features to your site.

Drupal is an open source content management platform licensed under the GPL. Equipped with a powerful blend of features, Drupal can support a variety of websites ranging from personal blogs, corporate brochures and large community-driven websites.

While it is not the purpose of this manual to fully educate you on database, web server or operating systems basics specific to your site, this will hopefully introduce you to getting a Drupal based website installed and configured for your needs. For a more technical sounding definition;

Drupal is a web-based content management system. Text and pointers to other kinds of content are stored in a database, dynamically retrieved and composed, and presented to a user in response to a request sent via a web-browser.

Drupal was originally written by Dries Buytaert, who still heads the Drupal project. Buytaert transliterated the Dutch word 'druppel,' which means 'droplet' to create the name 'Drupal,' in order to make an indirect reference to the community aspects of the project through the Dutch word 'dorp,' meaning 'village.' He opened the source code for community work in 2001.

Drupal is a free software package that allows an individual or a community of users to easily publish, manage and organize a wide variety of content on a website. Tens of thousands of people and organizations are using Drupal to power scores of different web sites, including

1) Community web portals
2) Discussion sites
3) Corporate web sites
4) Intranet applications
5) Personal web sites or blogs

Joomla Whats This

Want to know more ok lets start introduction about joomla

Joomla is an award-winning content management system (CMS), which enables you to build Web sites and powerful online applications. Joomla is an open source solution that is freely available to everyone.

A content management system is software that keeps track of every piece of content on your Web site, much like your local public library keeps track of books and stores them. Content can be simple text, photos, music, video, documents, or just about anything you can think of. A major advantage of using a CMS is that it requires almost no technical skill or knowledge to manage. Since the CMS manages all your content, you don't have to.

Joomla is used all over the world to power Web sites of all shapes and sizes. For example:

1) Corporate Web sites or portals
2) Corporate intranets and extranets
3) Online magazines, newspapers, and publications
4) E-commerce and online reservations
5) Government applications
6) Small business Web sites
7) Non-profit and organizational Web sites
8) Community-based portals
9) School and church Web sites
10) Personal or family homepages

Many companies and organizations have requirements that go beyond what is available in the basic Joomla package. In those cases, Joomla's powerful application framework makes it easy for developers to create sophisticated add-ons that extend the power of Joomla into virtually unlimited directions.

The core Joomla framework enables developers to quickly and easily build:

1) Inventory control systems
2) Data reporting tools
3) Application bridges
4) Custom product catalogs
5) Integrated e-commerce systems
6) Complex business directories
7) Reservation systems
8) Communication tools
