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.
