Joomla,Drupal,Mampoo… Which is the best CMS ?

I would like to master one of the open source CMS in order to design and develop websites. I don’t have any programming background all I know is only HTML. Can someone suggest which one of these is ideal for me to learn?
What are the comparative advantages and disadvantages of these three Content management systems? Your advice would be a valuable help to me.
Thanks .
Joe

    You can learn Joomla very easily if you have any kind of programming background. It’s fairly easy to learn the basic material and put up a nice site. Like anything else the more you study and tinker with it the better you’ll get.
    Get one of the Packt Publishing Books for Joomla 1.5 . Buy the hard copy and not the pdf. Sit down on a weekend and go through the book. you’ll be amazed how easy it is to learn when you use a structured approach. Most people just wing it and get lost. If I can do it anyone can.

    What’s ideal for you is a personal decision you’re going to have to make based on your strengths, weaknesses, and what capabilities you are looking for in a CMS.

    Especially with no programming background, you may also want to focus on what user interface feels most comfortable to you.

    NONE, unfortunately!
    And especially if you only know HTML…
    Each comes with huge amount of instructions, just to learn how to use them. You will spend a lot of time to understand how they work (IF you do), and you will always end up with "something" these code can’t do… hitting a brick-wall.
    On the other hand, with the knowledge of Javascript, Php and MySQL, you could write customized CMS in no time…
