I think it depends on your ideas as much as anything else. Web Apps? Operating Systems?
For web apps, I love Drupal. Drupal is a php platform, like Rails is for Ruby. PHP was easy enough for me to be building simple Drupal modules within a year of my first install, with Very little prior experience. So, keep in mind that php is not a huge learning curve and you also have jQuery, Apache, linux, project management, etc out there, fucking up your life, ;D
- jonjonjon 16y agothanks. How far can you go with drupal? what is the more extensive/impressive implementation on Drupal that you have seen?
- Wolf_Larsen 16y agoYou can go very far. Facebook apps, mobile apps, SMS, Mapping, Here are some impressive implementations: http://www.drupalgardens.com/ http://www.drupalgardens.com/ http://openatrium.com/ http://openatrium.com/ http://groups.drupal.org/aegir-hosting-system http://groups.drupal.org/aegir-hosting-system http://developmentseed.org/ http://developmentseed.org/ -> Their projects are cool http://drupal.org/project/modules?filters=drupal_core%3A87&solrsort=sis_project_release_usage%20desc http://drupal.org/project/modules?filters=drupal_core%3A87&#... -> Modules organized by usage. Go through a few pages to see some specific use-case modules. http://2bits.com/articles/presentation-28-million-page-views-day-70-million-month-one-server.html http://2bits.com/articles/presentation-28-million-page-views... -> Drupal is NOT slow when configured properly. www.whitehouse.gov is probably pretty cool. I recommend http://sf2010.drupal.org/conference/sessions/state-drupal http://sf2010.drupal.org/conference/sessions/state-drupal for an idea of where Drupal is today. I'm curious what other HN people think about Drupal. Would love to hear.
