Lynda.com - Joomla! 1.5 Essential Training


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.

The Mac GUI Interface files for the tutorials can now be found in this upload. These two files (one for FullScreenMode and one for WindowMode)can be found in the "Mac GUI" folder in the main director (They'll need to be extracted from the compressed "Mac GUI Apps.sit" file - Note: This should ONLY be done on Macs, since Windows messes up the file structure). All Mac users need to do is replace FullScreenMode.exe and WindowMode.exe files with the FullScreenMode.app and WindowMode.app files. What's more, these two files are interchangable with all the Lynda.com Releases/Repacks that have the Lynda.com Flash GUI Interface. Again, all you would need to do is extract those two files to the root directory of the various Lynda.com tutorials that you have.
