What is Drupal?

• Drupal is used to build web sites.
• It’s a highly modular, open source web content management framework.
• Drupal ships with basic core functionality,and additional functionality is gained by enabling built-in or third-party modules.
• Drupal is designed to be customized, but customization is done by overriding the core or by adding
• modules, not by modifying the code in the core.
• Drupal’s design also successfully separates content management from content presentation.
• Drupal can be used to build an Internet portal; a personal, departmental, or corporate
• web site; an e-commerce site; a resource directory; an online newspaper; an image gallery;
• an intranet, to mention only a few possibilities. It can even be used to teach a distancelearning
• course.
