Content management from scratch : a study of form, function and best practices

Abstract

The written portion of this project outlines some of the typical considerations one must make in the development of a web content management system, as well as the author's specific experiences with these considerations as they relate to the development of the Historic Muncie website and CMS. Writing software libraries, fixing bugs, and adjusting software functionality to meet shifting client needs are also topics of discussion. Ultimately, the documentation supports the central focus of the project - the 3000 lines of source code and the file hierarchy supplied as digital content with the written overview.
