Abstract of 'SDK for Drupal'



Drupal is a framework used for web development using PHP.PHP is a server side scripting language that is used to handle all the requests and processes them on the back-end. This framework helps the development of web applications at a very fast rate. Drupal like all CMS solutions is dynamically data-driven which demands dedicated server-side support and some reasonably advanced database handling and set-up.

A software development kit (SDK) is typically a set of development tools that allows for the creation of applications for a certain software package, software framework, hardware platform, computer system, operating system, or similar platform. Drupal is a free and open source content management system (CMS) written in PHP. Drupal runs on any computing platform that supports both a web server capable of running PHP 4.4.0+ (including Apache, IIS) and a database (such as MySQL, PostgreSQL) to store content and settings.

SDK for Drupal is something as simple as an application programming interface (API) in the form of some files to interface to a particular programming language or include sophisticated hardware to communicate with a certain embedded system. Common tools include debugging aids and other utilities often presented in an integrated development environment (IDE).
