What’s about Joomla?
Joomla is first released in year 2005 and they are reaching more than 10 million users currently.
What is Joomla?
From the words of officials – Joomla is an award-winning content management system (CMS), which enables you to build Web sites and powerful online applications. From what I see, Joomla is a convenient and efficient way to maintain web content online. This includes simple text, photos, music, video, documents – all these can be filed, organized, published, and maintained via a Joomla oriented website. The best thing about Joomla is that it is totally free of charge and the CMS is widely used by a huge group of developers (thus it’s easy to get help from other Joomla users).

Getting started with Joomla
In case you are new to Joomla, here’s where you can have a look on the Joomla demo version; and here’s where you can download Joomla installation files. You can also learn about the basics at Joomla Beginners Help at Wiki.
In case you are planning to test out Joomla directly from a web host – note that some web host do special support on Joomla and you can install the CMS automatically. The web host listed above for example, provide Joomla auto installation via Fantastico, Simple Scripts, as well as in house program.
What I think about Joomla?
Personally I am not a big fan of Joomla. However, the CMS does have a huge community of fans (we are talking about more than 10,000,000 users here) and the software is used worldwide. I tried using Joomla long long time ago (that was like year 2006) and I’m not sure how the software had improved by now thus have little advice for you. I’ll try publish more articles about Joomla whenever there’s an opportunity; for now, you’ll have to search else where for Joomla guides and helps. There are, after all, plenty of Joomla developers waiting to be hired and I’m sure you can get help anytime needed.
