hi,

are the web development frameworks, also content management systems ?

Do they also provide a back-end to add content using WYSIWYG editors... etc ?

Or they only allow you to develop web apps in other languages and using widgets.. ?

thanks

I guess this is really a matter of definition of one or the other. I would say that the framework itself is there to support you in the development of a CMS. Or even deployment. The framework is the structure we surround us with as we develop websites, programming and scripting languages, code and programs that help us in our task.

A CMS is more a result of that framework than the framework itself. - If you ask me.

Frameworks are software components easing complex functions like sessions, html templates, database writes and others. Content management system is a complete software handling website administration. They are two different things I guess.
