What is Drupal? | An Evolving Web Guide

[@old-gamer-01]

Updating Drupal is a NIGHTMARE! But is true that is VERY VERY GOOD and VERY VERY flexible and it will do it's job cheap and efficently! Keep educating people ;)

[@Jack_Diyes]

why? could you explain what exactly is a nightmare about it ?

[@old-gamer-01]

@@Jack_Diyes if I know what is wrong I'll fix it. Not worth time to learn it, too many variations and uneccesasary modifications. Pure time waste!

If updating it is a nightmare, it sucks

[@AlexB-op7kb]

Seems like a pretty smooth process to me, as long as you understand package managers and dependency management.

[@old-gamer-01]

@AlexB-op7kb yeah untill you learn something that you must use as profession, yeah! I will never again use drupal for my projects, I do not need a school I need ONLY a CMS!

[@AndreAngelantoni]

Does anyone make a website from scratch anymore? It seems that everyone looks for frameworks nowadays.

[@BananaBug]

I know someone whos hiring people to do that and idk why

[@sammietulip7948]

To save time, I guess.

I made a website from scratch and the business owner absolutely destroyed something, didn’t want to pay me to fix it, left it as his issue.

[@iScrewFace]

No need to build a website from scratch when there are these great CMS' that save you time and hassle. Webapps are made from scratch though.

[@migionie]

Well I do that but only because I found my way back into development. I just want to "suck in" every basic knowledge about web-dev because I want to make sure i REALLY get the understanding right. But I catch myself more and more looking for templating engines, CMS's, preprocessors for CSS like SASS and so on. Man I get excited just by thinking about all the possibilities!

This is really useful - thank you so much!

[@danilobucheli8164]

Drupal is flawed and poorly designed. i.e. you create a field in a form and the thing creates a whole table in the database. One table for each new field. To work seriously don't even consider.

[@AlexB-op7kb]

There is some truth to this
