Random: 3 Things Every Developer Needs to Know about Content Management

Looking at the article "3 Things Every Developer Needs to Know about Content Management" the three lessons mentioned are critical to remember. I will paraphrase my take aways.

Second, "it's about making workflow easier for the users." It is essential to remember technology is supposed to make life easier. This is especially true for educators.

Third, organization is key and determines how the content will be used.
