Content management, blogs, and online forums are among the most significant
online trends today, and Drupal, phpBB, and WordPress are three of the most
popular open source applications facilitating these trends.
Drupal is a full content management system that allows you to create any type
of website you desire, from an e-commerce to a community-based site. phpBB enables
you to set up a bulletin board or forum. And WordPress is the software of choice
for the exploding blog community. All three technologies are based on PHP and
MySQL.
Building Online Communities with Drupal, phpBB, and Wordpress is authored
by a team of experts. Robert T. Douglass recently created the Drupal-powered
blog site NowPublic.com. Mike Little is a founder and contributing developer
of the WordPress project. And Jared W. Smith has been a longtime support team
member of phpBBHacks.com and has been building sites with phpBB since the first
beta releases.
