9,602 PointsCMS and Framework, what are they?
I don't find anywhere a good explanation of what CMS is. I guess it have something to do with frameworks, but even here i don't fully understand what frameworks are.
What i do understand is that framework are kits of code that help us when we are developing in a particular language, by giving us quick access to stuff that we will quite likely be using. I'm right?
Can you guys give me some definition or, even better, a link of a good blogpost that explain it?

5,601 PointsA CMS A.K.A. Content Management System is some software that allows you to write, edit, and publish content on the web. Usually you write/edit/publish this content with a WYSIWYG A.K.A. What You See Is What You Get interface/editor. Wordpress, Tumblr, and Blogger are some examples of a CMS.
As for Frameworks... I think Skillcrush has a great explanation of what a framework is.
