Mambo
Mambo is a free, open source content management
system (CMS) that is developed in the PHP scripting
language. It is a dynamic CMS and uses the free
MySQL database for storing data. It is written and
supported by volunteers whose commitment to the
development of Mambo has seen it become one
of the most popular applications on the Internet today.
The Mambo CMS allows you to easily create a
dynamic web site At its most simple, it can be
installed through Fantastico on any web hosting space
that offers cPanel hosting and you can quickly have
a web site online with a minimum of effort and almost
no programming or HTML skills.
Don't let this simplicity fool you though - Mambo is
feature rich, highly extensible, and very powerful.
Mambo is used for everything from simple,
single-page web sites to portals, intranets, and
complex corporate applications.
What is a content management system?
It is simply a system for managing content.
Essentially, a CMS allows you to gather, organize
maintain and serve content. With Mambo, you gather
your content (text, images, scripts, etc) and add it to
your site through a web browser interface. In other
words, you logon to your Mambo site and add the
content you want included in your site. This content is
then stored in your database. Mambo allows you to
determine the way your content will be served to your
site visitors. Then, when a visitor comes to your site,
Mambo determines which content will be served for
the page the visitor has requested and delivers it.
We use the terms "dynamic" and "database-driven"
to describe the way Mambo functions. Unlike
traditional static web pages where all the content
is hard-coded into each page, Mambo stores the
content inside the database. The "page" does not
exist until a visitor requests it. At that time, Mambo
determines which content should be presented on
that page and how it should be delivered. It is this
use of database technology that makes Mambo such
a powerful content management system.
