description:
Joomla is a content management system (CMS), which enables you to build
multi-user Web sites quickly. Many aspects, including its ease-of-use
and extensibility, have made Joomla the most popular free and open
source Web site software available. Joomla, which operates on top of a
LAMP stack (Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP-perl), is designed to be easy to
install and set up even if you're not an advanced user. Many Web hosting
services offer a single-click install, getting your new site up and
running in just a few minutes. If your clients need specialized
functionality, Joomla is highly extensible and thousands of extensions
(most for free under the GPL license) are available in the Joomla
Extensions Directory .
"In the talk, Doug Bierer, founder of unlikelysource.com, which
maintains an open source Joomla extension, will cover:
- what is Joomla and why it may be useful to you
- rapid website development using Joomla
- expanding beyond the core by installing extensions
- how you can write your own Joomla modules
