00:01	Welcome to the spoken tutorial on “Overview of Drupal”.
00:06	In this tutorial, we will learn about: Content Management System Drupal
00:13	Salient features of Drupal and Overview of this series.
00:19	First, let us understand what is Drupal. Drupal is a free and open source, Content Management System (CMS).
00:30	What is a CMS? It is not like the old days where we have several html files, uploaded on a server.
00:40	In the traditional way, each webpage has its own html file.
00:47	Now it is very different. Each page is constructed using various components.
00:55	Each of the component can come from different places.
01:00	These components are assembled on the fly, using some programming logic.
01:06	So, depending on where you are viewing, say a desktop or a mobile, it could be different.
01:14	It can also change depending on who is viewing it from where. You may be a student viewing it from India,
01:23	or a customer buying something from Singapore. Each of you could see a different page.
01:32	CMS is the program behind this presentation logic.
01:37	It uses various programming functionalities such as PHP, Ajax, Javascript etc.
01:47	All CMS usually use a database to store information content without any formatting.
01:55	The formatting of content is done separately.
02:00	CMS makes even non-technical users to manage a website easily.
02:07	Drupal is one such CMS that is open source, meaning the code is freely available.
02:15	Anybody can download and change it.
02:18	Drupal was founded in 2000 by Dries Buytaert, when he was a student.
02:24	Since making it open source, several thousands of people have helped in modifying the code.
02:32	They then give it back to the community with small improvements.
02:37	Drupal community is one of the largest and closely knit open source community.
02:43	This community has developers, site-builders, volunteers who make Drupal what it is today.
02:51	It is said that in Drupal, you “Come for the code, stay for the community”.
