About Joomla! Explained
Master Joomla! 1.6 and 1.7 hands-on, step-by-step, through easy, practical examples!
Joomla! Explained teaches everything beginners need to know--and nothing they don't need to know!
Joomla! Explained requires absolutely no experience with Joomla! content management, website construction, programming, scripting, or even HTML. Stephen Burge has taught thousands of beginners--and thousands more who've experimented with Joomla! but haven't mastered it yet. Nobody knows more about guiding Joomla! users up the learning curve--from confusion to results!
You'll master Joomla! one easy step at a time, through a complete hands-on case study. Burge presents crystal-clear visuals, explanations, and analogies--all extensively tested with real Joomla! beginners.

- Understanding what Joomla! does and how it works
- Installing the latest version of Joomla
- Navigating your site's visitor and administrator areas
- Mastering workflows that make site creation easy
