Introduction

• Over the past 20 weeks I have been building a
  Content Management System known as nukeSquared

3
What?

• From Wikipedia.org
• A content management system (often shortened to
  CMS) is a system used to organize and facilitate
  collaborative content creation

4
What???

• A system that makes it easy for programmers and
  non-programmers to make powerful and easy-to-use
  websites

5
And why should I care?

• Because it can save you time!
• Most websites have the same basic structure
• People create accounts.
• Then they log in to their accounts.
• Then they do stuff.
• Then they log out.
• Why should you have to set this up yourself?

6
But isnt that kind of vague?

• Exactly! Thats why this is useful!
• nukeSquared can help you make almost any type of
  website about almost any subject!

7
How does this save me time?

• Look at it this waynukeSquared lets you manage
  pages by breaking them up into small and simple
  components
• Modules contain the interesting part of each
  page
• Blocks contain accessory functionality (e.g.
  links to other pages)
• Themes manage the overall appearance

8
Im confused

• Okay, lets look at modules
• See the red stuff ?????????
• It holds the content for the current page
  (usually the part your interested in)

9
And blocks?

• Blocks go around the module and can be on the
  left, right, top or bottom of each page
• See the red stuff?????????
• It holds less important information or links

10
And themes do what again?

• Themes control the overall look and feel of the
  page
• Different themes?????????
• They manage everything from the font to the page
  organization!

11
This really makes it easier!?

• Yes, see for yourself

12
Nobody has done this before?

• Actually, many of people have tried to do this
  before.
• PHP-Nuke
• Xoops
• PostNuke
• Drupal
• Xaraya
• Unfortunately, they lack modularity, consistency
  and ease of use

13
How does nukeSquared compare?
14
This seems kind of cool

• Thanks.
• As you can see, by dividing pages into the three
  components (modules, blocks and themes),
  nukeSquared can make creating powerful and easy
  to use websites relatively painless

15
You made that all by yourself?
