Is Django a content-management-system (CMS)?
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
No, Django is not a CMS, or any sort of "turnkey product" in and of itself.
|
||||||
|
It's a Web framework; it's a programming tool that lets you build Web sites.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For example, it doesn't make much sense to compare Django to something like
|
||||||
|
Drupal_, because Django is something you use to *create* things like Drupal.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Of course, Django's automatic admin site is fantastic and timesaving -- but
|
||||||
|
the admin site is one module of Django the framework. Furthermore, although
|
||||||
|
Django has special conveniences for building "CMS-y" apps, that doesn't mean
|
||||||
|
it's not just as appropriate for building "non-CMS-y" apps (whatever that
|
||||||
|
means!).
