WordPress
WordPress began life in 2003 as an extension of a publishing program called Cafelog. It was developed by Mike Little and Matt Mullenweg as a personal publishing system, which internet users would call a "blog" in later years. Their web design software was developed under the GPL license and PHP and MySQL are its underlying technologies. Today, it's a sophisticated platform that powers websites, personal blogs, and eCommerce businesses around the world.
