Zen and the Art of Nonprofit Technology

APRIL 6, 2011

In the old days (when I was starting with web programming, back in the early-mid-90s) it was all HTML flat files (and not even much in the way of CSS or JS at the time.) WordPress, Drupal, and Joomla are CMS systems that are written in PHP. And dynamic elements were less common (you remember those days.)

At Forum One, we build a lot of sites and applications with Drupal and WordPress, and both content management systems incorporate layout features out of the box. In Drupal 8+, that’s Layout Builder. To tackle this challenge, we recently piloted a new component-based design approach that prioritizes real-time collaboration.

In Cake, the database build is separate from the application building (you do it yourself), whereas in Symfony, you use Symfony to build the database with schema files written in YAML. I set up both on my laptop, and tried out some really simply app development. Then, you build forms and such using the schema as a foundation.

WordPress is by far the most popular of these CMS software tools, but there are many others including Dreamweaver, Joomla, and Drupal, to name a few. Before we had CMS software tools like Dreamweaver, Drupal and WordPress, creating a website page meant learning to use the coding language HTML (HyperText Markup Language).

The field of Nonprofit Technology Assistance Providers (NTAPs) began developing in the early 1990s. Each organization plays a unique role in the sector, contributing our own solutions to the complex problem of helping nonprofits adopt and use technology to create more social change. And what holes in service they could recommend?
