About Drupal
Companies and team members have many entry points from which to learn and engage with Drupal.
First, Drupal encompasses the main open-source software, currently on Drupal 11. The community is now calling this Drupal Core. To download the latest version of Drupal Core, visit this link. Working with Drupal 11 is for advanced technical teams who would like to build custom websites and web applications with unique feature sets and specific functionality. It's worth pointing out that although Drupal is now on 11, many thousands of public websites are still utilizing Drupal 10, 9, 8 and 7 software.
Second, Drupal recently released Drupal CMS, which as the Drupal community puts it, "puts the power of Drupal into the hands of marketers, designers and content creators."
