Joomla! Getting Started - 1

I am using Joomla! CMS for Developing Websites. Still I am developing professional database driven websites with out any errors. Basically I am afraid of Coding and intend to skip it. But coincidently I have come across Joomla and become a big fan of Joomla.


Here I just share my bookmarks with short notes which may helpful to others for reference and learning also.


I haven't learn Joomla in traditional classrooms or some where at Training Centres. Since it is OpenSource CMS, all resources are available at online free of cost. And remember for most of the softwares there is learning resources and helping forums are freely available on internet, but why Joomla?


One of the most attractive feature and motivation to me to learn Joomla is, of-course it's user-friendly. If you are familiar to internet basics like Email (Gmail, Yahoo, etc), Google Search, Social Networks (facebook, orkut, linkedin, twitter, etc), Blogging (blogspot, worpress, etc), it is enough to get started Joomla. But beyond these points your interest and involvement makes a nice experience with Joomla. Now I am getting involved in Joomla day by day. Really happy with sharing it here.
