Lynda Joomla 1.5 Essential Training
==============================


Many types of websites can be built and maintained more easily using a content 
management system (CMS). 

A CMS provides a web-based interface for creating and organizing content. 

The content is stored in a database then consistently presented according to a set 
of templates and preferences, which eliminates the need to handcraft each page in HTML. 

Joomla! is a popular, easy-to-use, open-source CMS built in PHP. It has near-limitless functionality 
thanks to its community of extension developers. 

In Joomla! 1.5 Essential Training, Joseph LeBlanc uses Joomla! to build a small-business 
website from scratch with no programming at all from installation to launch. 

He demonstrates how to create and organize content; add menus, sidebars, and other features 
change the look with templates;install plug-ins and extensions; and much more. 

Exercise files accompany the course.
