Thoughts on using Content Management System (CMS)

I been using PHP for quiet some time but I notice if you just rely on your skills you cannot still create a very good website. Even if you do, it would be very time consuming and very difficult because of scope that you need to put the complete functionality required.

Here comes the content management system which has a ready and customizable functionality superb for creating your own style and use only the modules that you needed on you website that you want to create. The codes that you use to program for a month can be done in a day! The modules are just need to be added by downloading and clicking to install.

So, I've been thinking why we kept on inventing a wheel when we all need to do is to reuse the one that has been already created. No matter how good you are in PHP you cannot still match the quality of the output that the CMS can provide.

So, I recommend that we should use CMS in our works/project. There is a lot of CMS available for download in the net. Joomla and drupal can be a good start for us to practice and appreciate. I'm not saying that we should be dependent on CMS and forget how to write codes in PHP but in this days we need a fast and good results right away.

So sad..

It is so sad to think that you did not do anything to prevent things from happening even though you know you can change things..
