There are some amazingly good blogs out there focused on the use of Drupal and other open source tools. I’ll still be building websites (and their successors) for the foreseeable future with Drupal, and perhaps with whichever cool, new open source development framework comes next after Drupal becomes irrelevant (it will, eventually).

WordPress, Drupal, and Joomla are CMS systems that are written in PHP. Most Drupal developers, for instance, don’t spend a whole lot of their time in code unless they work on contributed modules (or contribute patches and such to core.). PHP is one of many programming languages. Plone, for instance is written in Python.
