Comment on Wordpress vs Drupal by Zac

I would totally agree with that! To be honest, I'm not so sure why Drupal is so popular. Hooking the system is something I didn't want to spent the time to learn. Expression Engine is a good alternative.

I think the biggest problem with drupal is the fact that you need to know so many things about its hook system – the learning curve is just so high that it requires a big commitment for development.

Typo3 is probably the hardest CMS I’ve ever had to learn. It really is a giant, but that’s because it’s good at handling giant web sites. Once you learn how to template, everything else seems easy. After you learn Typo3, you really see how powerful it is.

You don’t need a very advanced knowledge of PHP to get Typo3 running, but you do have to learn the Typo3 template language called Typoscript. Knowing advanced PHP comes in handy if you want to write Typo3 extensions.

Thanks for the great explanation Zac. I haven’t read a more detailed post specifically on Drupal and WordPress. It looks like I will be testing Drupal in the near future

I don’t have advanced skills in PHP, do you think it would be a steep learning curve to learn how to use Typo3?
