An Introduction To AEM

Day Software was a Swiss company founded in 1993 that developed web content management software. Their flagship product, Communique, was renamed Adobe Experience Manager after Adobe acquired Day Software in 2010. AEM uses the Apache Sling framework, which leverages Apache Jackrabbit (CRX in AEM) as a content repository to store and manage content in a RESTful manner. Content is stored in a hierarchy of nodes with properties and Sling resolves URLs to specific nodes. AEM also incorporates the OSGI-based Felix runtime and supports authoring, templates, pages, components, and publishing workflows.
