Lesson One – What is JOOMLA?

November 7, 2009 · Posted in Joomla 

Joomla! is a content management system platform for publishing content on the World Wide Web and intranets as well as a Model–view–controller (MVC) Web Application Development framework.

The system includes features such as page caching to improve performance, RSS feeds, printable versions of pages, news flashes, blogs, polls, website searching, and language internationalization.

It is written in the PHP programming language and uses the MySQL database system to store information. Joomla is the result of a fork of Mambo. Released under the terms of the GNU General Public License, Joomla is free software.

    Lotta people dream about building hosting and launching their first website. Those same people aren’t web designers they’re average people who are learning from ground zero. You know the progression for n00bs: first we learn about something called WordPress. Then later we hear about Joomla. What people like me want to know is:
    1) Do we need to know Dreamweaver, HTML or CSS in order to build our first website?
    2) What’s easier for the n00b to learn, WordPress or Joomla?

    This was the best video I saw about introducing Joomla to my brain. All other videos about Joomla in Youtube need to be deleted.

    what I want to know is how is it different from php and templating. I am already familiar with other ways of bypassing having to code all your pages.
