Joomla for Creating Websites with a difference

Joomla is an award-winning open source content management system (CMS) that serves as an effective tool to build distinctly unique Web sites and to develop strong online applications. Content can be of any type ranging from simple text, complex documents, images, photos, music, video etc – Joomla CMS is known for its versatility as well as extensibility.

Joomla is written in PHP for publishing as well as managing content on the web and intranet using a MySQL database. The CMS aids quick and relatively effortless development of unique Web sites, Internet portals, blogs and online stores. Coming as it does with an array of advanced CMS features, it provides for user-friendly navigation.

Many factors, including its ease-of-use and extensibility have made Joomla one of the most popular Web site software available. Joomla is among the most rampantly used Open Source content management systems and ranks along with Drupal and WordPress. Joomla is an application that further makes possible the second generation of Internet-based services – commonly referred to as Web 2.0.

Joomla is used for almost all kinds of websites including  corporate websites, personal blogs, online malls, online magazines, photo galleries, online newspapers, managing online library, videos & podcasts, chat rooms – in short every type of web presence found on the internet. The one striking feature of Joomla is it is very easy to customize and to enhance. Till a couple of months back, Joomla was reportedly downloaded over a whopping 30 million times.

Technically speaking, Joomla is written in PHP and is based on software design patterns and object-oriented programming (OOPS) techniques. Joomla stores data in a MySQL database and incorporates highly useful features like page caching, printable versions of pages, RSS feeds, news flashes, blogs, polls, support for language internationalization etc. Most Importantly, Joomla extensively uses the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern.

In conventional MVC designs there are three objects:

• The Controller – designed to organize and manage everything that happens.

• The Model – designed to control the data.

• The View – designed to interact with the end-user.
