Joomla for Beginners

Overview

Joomla is an open source free content management system which is used to publish web content. It was developed by the Open source matters, Inc in the year 2005. It is built on a model-view-controller web application framework and is written in PHP. It incorporates features such as page caching, news flashes, blogs, search and printable versions of pages. Joomla is mainly used in the creation of web portals and professional applications. Joomla is also the perfect choice for website authors to upload content easily without the help from professional developers.

In the last few decades, the web revolution has been taking over every aspect of our lives. From ordering groceries to everyday banking to getting daily news, everything is based on web.  In this day and age, every small or large business need to have a web presence to tell the world about themselves. Even individuals express themselves by using an online medium like blogs or personal websites. The ability to build and run these sites has become an essential skill. Though we can simply hire professionals to do the deed, it would be very expensive in the long run. Therefore, it would be better if you could learn how to effectively manage your web content on your own. In this Joomla for Beginners course, you will first learn how to install and configure Joomla. Then you will move on to managing articles, users, and security. You will also learn how to work with templates and extensions, all the while picking up valuable tips and tricks along the way. By the end of this course, you will have possessed the added development skills that are very in-demand in the job market today.
