The Fast and Easy Solution for Web Developers- Joomla Tutorials!

The Joomla! content management system (CMS) is an open source cms system for web developers to build and manage web sites quickly and easily. The structure of Joomla! allows developers to build complex sites and customize them to the specific needs of their clients, while providing an easy to use interface to manage and update their websites on their own.

Most hosting companies already support Joomla!, so enabling is a snap. Joomla! allows the web developer to customize the look of the site via a template. Many free templates are available, others are available at modest fees, and they are all customizable to match client branding. A site can be set up from scratch quickly, or discretely customized with the help of Joomla Tutorials.

Functions can be added to Joomla! through the installation of extensions, which come in the form of modules, plugins or components depending on their function and complexity. There is a wide variety of components and modules available, from statistic counters to mailing list applications, blogs, forums, and much more. The Joomla! web site allows users to search for and download plugins, modules and components. Joomla! can support e-commerce applications, product control, and invertory controls for the retailer.

Joomla! is an open source cms system. This means that the CMS and many of the components and modules, as well as the Joomla! sites are maintained and devloped by volunteers. Users can donate to Joomla! to support overhead costs. A set of forums at the Joomla! web site provides a place for developers to ask questions and find answers to many questions about administration, instrallation and customization of templates, extensions, customization, and much more. Some extensions created by third party companies require a fee to purchase and use, but many have evaluation versions of their extensions for developers to try out before purchase.

Joomla! is a great tool for the web developer toolbox, allowing developers to quickly and easily create vibrant and deceptively complex web sites that are a snap to upgrade and maintain.

The novice reader is eased into the subject and confidently guided through the basic principles and on to the more advanced features. This guide empowers the user not only to build a professional website but to also to make it a success.” –Russell Walker, CEO, Netshine Software Limited (Joomla! Development Consultancy)   “If you’ve been using or following Joomla! in the past years, you’ve most likely seen the name Barrie North or Joomlashack. Barrie has been a member of the community for a long time and, as such, my expectations for this book were pretty high. Besides explaining how Joomla! works from a usability point of view, there is valuable information for people who want to learn serious template building, and readers can stand out of the crowd by using Barrie’s steps to make their (X)HTML and CSS optimized for accessibility and SEO. All in all, this book is a great guide that comes at the right time for newcomers and more experienced Joomla! users and developers alike. Well done, Barrie!” –Arno Zijlstra, Joomla! cofounder, custom template specialist, www.alvaana.com   “In a time when solid, real-life Joomla! 1.5 information is rarely available, this book is a thirst-quenching oasis of knowledge. The abundant and clear examples in the book make Joomla! 1.5 websites within anyone’s reach. I heartily recommend Joomla! 1.5: A User’s Guide by Barrie North.” –Tom Canavan, author of Dodging the Bullets: A Disaster Preparation Guide for Joomla! Based Web Sites   “Refreshing! After reading many how-to books, this one is a step beyond the rest because of its focus on examples based on live sites. This book is well crafted for beginners to advanced users with a well-organized overview that walks you through the entire Joomla! CMS.” –Steven Pignataro, corePHP, www.corephp.com   “As a long-time Joomla! end-user and developer, I had low expectations for anything new I might learn from this book. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find it a great refresher course, especially since the book is logically organized, leading beginners from the most basic Joomla! concepts and continuing through to more complex ones, such as tableless template design and how to write a template for Joomla! 1.5. In summary, Barrie North has produced the gold-standard print reference for Joomla! 1.5. I highly recommend this book for novice and intermediate users if you want to make the most of Joomla!” –Vicor Drover, http://dev.anything-digital.com   The Best Easy-to-Use Guide to Joomla!™
