Abstract:
What is Joomla!? "Joomla! is an award-winning content management system (CMS), which enables you to build Web sites and powerful online applications. Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, have made Joomla the most popular web site software available. Best of all, Joomla is an open source solution that is freely available to everyone." What will be covered? In this presentation, Harry Pannu will start with a very brief introduction of web content management systems in general, list some of the open source options out there and then move on to describing Joomla! CMS in particular. The presentation will be a hands-on demo of Joomla! installation, its configuration, and basic administration. Along the way Harry will give you significant hints based on his experience with a large number of Joomla! projects over the last 5 years.
