Once upon a time, at the birth of the web, the web sites
was made "by hand", writing simple
HTML pages. At
the beginning only text, with words to specify the document structure
(TAGS);
then came figures, more and more tags and, in some years, all the
stuff we see today: detailed format specifications
(CSS),
programs embedded in the web pages
(Javascript),
and lot of equipment configurations done by a browser,
using the sample transmission scheme of the web pages
(HTTP).
This transformation was lead by the advent of
commercial entities and editors on the web, with their specific needs,
and the new possibilities given by the increasing power and low cost
of computer and networks.
In recent years (2015-2017), the diffusion of the social networks
brought the web to everyone, as an easy way to condivide
thoughts, images, video in real time, in a continuous way.
All changed again with all kind of people with
no technical skill as authors on the web.
Most web sites are now build in semi-automated ways, by
complex programs, but which an easy interface.
Content Management System (CMS) is the name given to
this class of computer applications
used to built and manage web sites.
In these web pages I try to tell about my short journey at
the discover of the CMS world
