Who Does Drupal?
Submitted by Jesse on Tue, 04/07/2009 - 08:21
Drupal is at an exciting point as it moves more and more into common use. But, as has been the case with other technologies, this move comes with a major change. Until now, most people putting up Drupal Web sites have had the skills to customize Drupal. If there isn't a module that does what you want, just write some PHP code. Want a theme just for you, no problem. There are suggestions for improvements and bug fixes on the Drupal site and other places that you can apply yourself to the code (not Core, please!).

From a friend at a company that has just converted a large website to Drupal. He says the old way was much easier: just send a request to IT. He adds that nevertheless, for quick edits and timely updates, Drupal is better.
Many people use Drupal to build websites -- and with great success. But deep inside Drupal is an SQL database (MySQL or Postgres, and in Drupal 7, SQLite). In addition to storing content in the database using the Drupal core and contributed modules, you can use CCK and Views to build a collaborative database-driven app on that same database.Extras for Drupal
