For the benefit of the computarded, what is a “developer tool” and how does it differ from a “blog-centered content management system”?
Well, obviously, because of the spelling.
Aww, guess somebody’s mad because he can’t afford a good monitor! I suppose all those rumors of gigantic salaries for the mods are just that, then?
Besides, the silly sods probably couldn’t see me PALATR even if I were right next to them, what with all the tunnel vision and the special software I have on my phone that makes me invisible and all. Just another in a long line of technological miracles only available to the left wingers!
And which were secret, till Smartie over here opened his pie hole.
Wait, are you implying they can hear me laugh?
I don’t understand what their problem is; the Internet is just a series of tubes after all.
Tubes, or not tubes, that is the question.
I don’t know anything about this “scoop” in particular, but it seems like it’s a content management system with a focus on blog-style content. People write content (the blog posts, mostly) and submit them using a web form, and that’s all of the technical skill that is really needed to maintain the site. Strictly speaking, you don’t need a developer to manage it, you can administrate from the various web forms. This is great, until you need something customized, and then you do need to find a developer, and modifying a component of an existing system can be a lot more difficult than it sounds.
A developer tool or framework is very much like a library of components that help a programmer write a site from scratch. The framework will have abstractions for things like database access, user authentication and management, validating form fields, etc. It’s just something that makes development easier, but you still need to get someone to do the programming to make what you want. Popular examples of these are Ruby on Rails or Django (for python). If you’re not a programmer it’s not worth worrying about what these are.
A slant pun? Truly sir, you have reached a new low.
Analogically speaking, think Microsoft products. A “developer tool” might be something like Visual Studio (at a high level; at a lower level, it might be a specific computer language), while a “content management system” might be Microsoft Word.
More briefly, the former is used to develop an application; the latter is an application (with a specific purpose).
