Drupal is an open source content management system or CMS for short. Drupal allows users to manage content of a website, such as articles and images. Many features, such as forums, shopping carts and blogs, can be added from the large collection of modules provided by the open source community free of charge.
This makes for a great building block upon which to quickly deploy highly scalable websites.
