# September 2026: Wagtail, the Content Management System (CMS)
A content management system is software that lets you build and manage digital content on a website without needing to write code. The best-known example is WordPress.
Wagtail is a popular CMS, built on Django (which is, in turn, the best-known Python web application platform). It’s built to produce a high-quality CMS application with minimal effort.
So let’s put it to the test! We’ll play with the tutorial together and see what a DDL CMS might look like. Perhaps we’ll even deploy it!
DDL is devoted to discussion of technology and techniques related to dynamic programming languages: Python, Perl, Ruby, PHP, JavaScript, and sometimes something more exotic! These languages are fun and easy to get started with, yet powerful enough for all manner of professional use, and our members span the full range of experience with them.
We always leave time for general conversation and questions. Come try one of the most interactive groups around!
The Dayton Dynamic Languages User Group meets the 2nd Wednesday of each month from 7 to 9 PM. We have in person meetings at The Innovation Hub and we use Discord for a live feed of the meetings, using the General voice channel at https://discord.gg/9SgTh3T
