I'm fairly profficient at web design using CSS and HTML etc,

What I'd like to start looking at is CMS. Are there any opensource options available or guides to creating one, etc.

Thanks

EDIT: oo, found an opensource site, any other offerings?

Just set up a site myself with Joomla, managed to make my own template with CSS no problems!

Seconded. Also, nice range of extensions, or you can make your own extensions.
 
No, don't use Joomla!

Try Textpattern or Wordpress, anything else is likely bloatware (e.g. PHPNuke, Joomla, Drupal etc. though admittedly WP has become pretty bloated recently). The best solution is always to make your own, though.
 
Start looking in to MySQL/PHP as this seems to be what most web-based CMS systems use.

A good book to learn from is Build your own Database Driven Website using PHP & MySQL, makes it very clear and easy to follow.

As for pre-written CMS systems, there are loads such as:

Seditio - www.neocrome.net - This is the one I use at the moment and am quickly falling in love with it.
phpBB - www.phpbb.com - This is mainly just a forum type thing, but has lots of addons and plugins to make it in to a CMS
Wordpress - www.wordpress.org - no forums, but more an expandable blogging tool.
MyBB - www.mybboard.net - Brilliant little CMS system with forums.

There are loads out there, take a look at Hotscripts.com they have a huge db of all the latest CMS systems
