Quick Start for Joomla Newbies

Andrew Smith — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 04:53:16 -0400

Joomla is an open source software application for running web sites that are easy to update. This presentation will get you up and running even faster if you are new to Joomla. Presenter Andrew Eddie also gives fresh information as to some of the differences between Joomla 1.5 and the forthcoming Joomla 1.6.

(Tech note: We shot this episode in progressive format as an improvement. Andrew Eddie looks great, but there was a clash with the sync of the data projector refresh rate. The resulting rolling horizontal banding and codec compression artifacts won't be there next time. Sorry about that.)
