Joomla

Joomla is a Content Management System (CMS) and helps one store content (text, documents, photos, videos etc) on websites. It can be used for building websites of all kinds - corporate, personal, eCommerce, charity, educational, travel, news, magazines etc. Joomla 1.0 was released in September 2005 and the Joomla developer community keeps adding features with every release. It is a free and open source software (FOSS) which makes it one of the most popular CMS.

A major advantage of using a CMS is that it requires no technical knowledge to manage a website. It has powerful extensions and plugins that can help a user create galleries, polls, searches, chats, forums and many other utilities easily without requiring any technical development skills.

The Spoken Tutorial effort for Joomla series has been contributed by Priyanka from Hyderabad supported with domain reviews by Dr.Ambuja Salgaonkar from Mumbai and Nancy Varkey from Spoken Tutorial project, IIT Bombay.

Learners: Web developers, website administrators, and UG/PG CSE/IT/CS students who wish to learn website management.
