Content management, blogs, and online forums are among the most significant online trends today, and Drupal, php BB, and Word Press 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. php BB enables you to set up a bulletin board or forum. And Word Press is the software of choice for the exploding blog community. All three technologies are based on PHP and My SQL.
Building Online Communities with Drupal, php BB, and WordPress is authored by a team of experts. Robert T. Douglass created the Drupal-powered blog site Now Public.com. Mike Little is a founder and contributing developer of the Word Press project. And Jared W. Smith has been a longtime support team member of php BBHacks.com and has been building sites with php BB since the first beta releases.
