How is the Marktplace in Drupal, is it very Profitable, I know it moved Symfony so curious about what the Drupal scene looks like now.

Drupal is doing okay. You know PHP introduced OOP in version 7 and this changed lots of things, so I guess this likewise influenced Drupal to go OOP as well with version 8 called Drupal 8. But Drupal didn't want to start injecting OOP code into the procedural architecture, they decided to make a complete rewrite, making the entire codebase object oriented and deciding to align itself with the exciting developments in the PHP community. Drupal decided to use some of the excellent libraries emerging around PHP. So Drupal adopted the use of Composer to manage libraries and also adopted lots of top notch Symfony libraries aka Symfony components (note that Laravel uses lots of Symfony libraries too). I guess Drupal was trying to pledge its allegiance to the PHP community cos the PHP community was kind of following the PFE (Proudly Found Elsewhere) philosophy which means that instead of every project rebuilding their own tools to solve similar problems, they decided to share and use the same battle tested libraries, and Composer made this easy. Drupal 8 also adopted the Twig template engine which prevents the use of raw php in themes and adds extra layer of security to the website. Twig is also used by many php projects and can also be used in Laravel in place of Blade.

So you can see Drupal is improving and keeping itself relevant and staying cutting edge. Essentially developing for Drupal means working with modern cutting edge practices and building a skillset that is useful both within Drupal and elsewhere.

As for profitability, Drupal is doing okay as well.

For the OP, let me try to give a more direct answer to your question about 'Web Programming Language Vs Content Management Systems', cmses are built with programming languages so to understand your cms better you could learn the programming language so you can use the cms at a more professional level. Learning the language will enable you to maneuver the cms and solve your custom problems when no solution exits in the community.

But even if you do no want to use a cms, these days no matter how expert you are at a programming language, you are not expected to start building every bit of your applications from scratch i.e. building your own authentication system, building your own database connection module, building your own web services tools, and such. You don't have to do that. After learning a programming language you are expected to leverage existing and battle-tested libraries written by other people and open-sourced for anybody to take and use. If you don't choose to use a cms, you may have to use a framework and build up your application using components that have been contributed to the framework by the community. E.g. if you learnt PHP and you do not want to build your application with a cms, you can use a framework like Symfony, Laravel, CodeIgniter and many others. If you learnt JavaScript you may want to build your project with frameworks like React, Vue, Angular and many others. If you learnt Python you may want to build with Django, Flask and many others. Not that you learnt php and you want to start a php project and you start writing vanilla php as to write everything from ground up, and then you start debugging them all by yourself, and then you will be the one to keep testing and making sure there are no bugs. Not so. When you use popular contributed libraries you are sure of the health of the code cos many people in the community are using it and reporting issues and the bugs getting fixed by the authors and maintainers. What you then need to do is to contribute in reporting bugs and suggesting features and contributing patches to fix bugs reported by others. And when you become a senior developer you can create your own custom projects and open source them for others to use and join you to maintain it. This will make you popular and add to your cv and big corporations will hire you for millions of dollars because they know you authored so so popular libraries that millions of developers all over the world are using. At this stage you are successful both career-wise and money-wise.

Reminds me of Ralph Tresvant's song that says 'money can't buy you love, can't buy you happiness'. The richest men in the world are getting divorced. What paradox!

He must be delusional....After they have sank the country into unspeakable debts by their chronic borrowing to the extent they borrowed pensioner's money, borrowed unclaimed dividends, took money from dormant accounts, pushed stamp duties and all kinds of ways to tax the citizens. It is alleged they are even printing money. Now they have set the country on a path to disintegration. He must be delusional.

If you don't learn code you can be building websites with page builders but you will remain a novice and you will be a part of the crowd that page builders have assisted to turn the web development industry to akara business e.g. you will be charging like N16,000 to create websites complete with hosting. So by the time you have 100 clients you have only made N1.6m and they have stressed your life out in the process.

The other way round if you want to make a career in web development you have to learn code and learn lots of it. This will make you acquire powers and you will be a part of the professionals in the industry contributing code to frameworks and cms projects and solving problems with custom solutions. This way you can make N1.6m as part payment in one single web project!

The choice is yours but mind you, to learn code is not moi moi. You will hear wiii. But like in every other profession, you can't just acquire knowledge without hearing wiii.

Meanwhile as a Drupal fan I will recommend you try Drupal. It is a most powerful PHP framework in the skin of a CMS so it gives you the best of both worlds. You can use Drupal to build websites without much coding and you can as well use Drupal as a developer and unleash your custom php skills in your custom modules. Drupal is more developer-centric so best you ask Google if it is best for you to learn it.

All the best.

The Migration tools in Drupal core is available for site builders, developers and Drupal agencies to upgrade their sites from Drupal 6/7 to Drupal 8. The tools will migrate your content and configuration to your new empty Drupal 8 site while you recreate your views as views are not migrated.

Read details of how we handled our first Drupal 7 to Drupal 8 upgrade, https://www.skillmaticace.com/blog/we-completed-our-first-drupal-7-drupal-8-upgrade

PHP from back in the day, and still stuck with it up till now. It was very easy and fun to learn. I never really got deep cos I got introduced to CMSes which distracted me from learning deeply as I began to learn to build sites using CMSes than continuing to learn how to create the CMSes themselves. This is one 'bad' thing CMSes have done to many of us that ordinarily would have been badass programmers today. But now with the need to contribute back to the opensource CMSes, I have found again the need to keep learning PHP.

PHP has so much evolved and with PHP 7 introducing object oriented programming there are lots of learning and relearning to do. PHP 8 got released few days back and again, new features were introduced again.

Another language I am fascinated about is JavaScript because it has gotten so popular but as a businessman I can only learn as much as time permits cos I need to run the enterprise at the same time.

Reposting with my account now, Sorry about the mix-up.

I used Atom, it was cool, then I tried Brackets and left Atom. I loved Brackets cos it was lighter for me to start up, Atom was heavier for me. Then I tried VS Code and left the other two. As a Drupalista I was hoping to move to PhpStorm (a favorite with many Drupal devs) but when I found a few friends moving from PhpStorm to VS Code (they said it was a free - PhpStorm is commercial - opensource almost-at-par alternative), I now think I am settled on VS Code till further notice.

Thank you.

Drupal is one of the leading content management systems. With this post I will give insights as to why you should consider using Drupal for your next website project.

Drupal offers lots of advantages to site owners that will make a discerning site owner choose it. Let me mention some of the advantages:

SEO
Drupal sites are SEO friendly as Drupal 8 is natively responsive and with Big Pipe and other caching mechanisms, much of your site content is served from cache making page loads faster and good speed is good for SEO. Also there are invaluable SEO modules to prime your site for optimal search performance.

Security
Drupal has a very dedicated and seriously-taken security team, security is top priority as the Drupal Security Team continuously monitor, fix and report any security issues. Also, by it's architecture, Drupal ships with enterprise-level security baked in.

Security is why Drupal is usually used by very serious users including governments from all over the world, the biggest higher educational institutions of our world, the biggest institutions and organisations of our world, and yet other very big companies and organisations.

Structured content
Drupal gives near-extreme powers to site builders and content authors to model their content in precise modular and granular structures. This has immeasurable benefits in content re-use, re-presentation, export, import and in cross-platform cross-device data interoperability. Field API is baked right within Drupal and with Drupal, it's a party of fields everywhere. Drupal is 'chunky' and not 'blobby', if you understand the drawbacks of 'blobby' content you will know the value here especially if your site is medium to big.

User permissions and content moderation
Drupal ships with 3 user roles but you are free to add endless amounts of user roles with extremely fine-grained permission levels on the site. You literally can restrict users to individual page elements and even fields. Content moderation and access-control is very robust in Drupal. Access can be controlled per site section, per menu items, per content types, per who created the content, per taxonomy terms, per field type, it's incredible. Content moderation is very extensive, you can set a writer that depends on a first level reviewer, the reviewer can review and still push up to quality control team who will then push to the legal team who will then push to the final editor that has the exclusive rights to publish live on site. While live, if content is edited, it goes through same defined moderation flow for the added edits to show on the site. You can also stage a whole edition of your site with all the content pertaining to the edition, and activate/publish the entire edition live with one click, it's amazing.

Drupal is modern code
Drupal 8 is modern PHP 7 Object Oriented Code and utilizes modern libraries. This means the skill set of Drupal developers is same skill set obtainable in the general PHP community. It is modern programming paradigm that is recognizable by modern programmers. Theming engine is Twig which is modern too.

Drupal is API-first
Drupal has RESTful web services and JSON:API in core, GraphQL is ripe, OpenAPI, CouchDB and lots of web services tools you need to expose the endpoints of your content to your consumer applications are stably available. Read my article about how to decouple Drupal here.

Drupal has become easy to use
Yes, one thing that has always been said about Drupal is that it is harsh on novices and friendly on developers, and many say Drupal is very difficult to build with and use. Well, things have gotten a lot better. Drupal 8 has made so many editorial experience and UI improvements, there is Layout Builder for easier content creation/editing, there are other improved editorial-friendly layout tools, and there is even Gutenberg editor available. But make no mistakes Drupal has a bias for the enterprise scale than for Do-It-Yourself users. As an absolute novice I do not think you can successfully install and setup Drupal as easily as you would other CMSes. There is a threshold of skill and knowledge required to successfully and rightfully setup Drupal. That is why Drupal agencies exist, e.g. I work with a team of web designers in Nigeria with specialty in Drupal.

Drupal is scalable
You can start small with Drupal and scale up the site to incredible levels in the future, it has all features you need to play in the enterprise space even when you started in the small guy space. Drupal can really handle very big and complex content better.

Multilingual support
Drupal ships with up to 100 languages to choose from during installation and every single content entity is translatable out of the box. There’s back-end system for transliteration. This will come in handy when you are working on projects that involves languages more than just English. Drupal 8 has 4 core modules for language and translation, all you need do is turn them on, configure them and you are good to go.

In conclusion
I hope with these few points of mine I am able to convince you and not confuse you on why you should try Drupal on your next project.

I do write about Drupal on Skillmatic Ace (web developers in Nigeria with special focus on Drupal).

If I remember any other points I may post them as comments.

Thank you for reading.
