Understanding Drupal
summary
Drupal is both a CMS and a framework that powers sites from small shops to high‑traffic properties like weather.com (over a billion visits per month), the White House and the Grammys, and it claims built‑in security and stronger multilingual support in Drupal 8. Core concepts are concrete: node = content container, content types act as one‑per‑node templates, fields enforce validation and separate data (one field per datum), blocks live in theme regions and views create listings and exposed filters, image styles normalize uploads, modules add features and distributions prepackage use cases. Blocks can now have fields in Drupal 8 and views can produce blocks and map outputs.
