The name Posa Doble is new, however Posa Doble is the 5th major iteration of a content management system dating back to 2002.
A time in which WordPress didn\u2019t even exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CMS 0 \u2013 2002<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CMS0 was the prequel to CMS1 in 2002.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It allowed the import of .DBF files from the POS system for a computer store.
It displayed the products on the site.
It was possible to see very crude visitor stats (this was before Google Analytics even existed).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it was not possible to change any other content.
You could log in, but that was it.
It was my our very first project in PHP 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CMS 0.5 \u2013 2002\/2003<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I did an internship at a company that built websites.
For that company I build the website of the computer store I worked as a weekend job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was an entire website with CMS, but built in MS ASP and Access (yes, the old ASP, not ASP.net) and MS Webserver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CMS 1 \u2013 2003<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The ASP code from CMS0.5 belonged to the company I did an internship for.
With the things I learned from CMS0.5, I created CMS1, but in PHP to use on my own websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CMS 1 stored data with MySQL (which didn\u2019t even support foreign keys at the time).
Some code of CMS1 is still present in some libraries of CMS5.
CMS 1 used standard centralised function libraries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The system was able to manage texts on sites.
CMS1 was used for my company in POS systems (programmed in Delphi b.t.w.)
CMS1 was a major milestone and foundation for what was to come\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CMS 2 \u2013 2004<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CMS 2 is the follow-up of CMS1.
CMS2 is basically CMS1 but with one key difference: plug and play modules (if you didn\u2019t count the database).
Copy module files into the module directory and you where done. (if you didn\u2019t count the database).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used CMS2 for 20 years, it was that<\/em> good and that<\/em> freakin\u2019 fast.
I used to power the sites of my event company and even later my blogs that supported my YouTube channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CMS 2 was completely procedural PHP, instead of object oriented.
The development was slow, especially modules with a lot of form elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CMS 2.5<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2003\/2004 I did another internship with a company that builds websites, but this time with PHP.
Here I developed the ultimate CMS, which was more a webapplication framework used for CRM.
It could do a wider range of things than just manage websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
