History of Joomla CMS

Is the modern way of content using a content management system to make a Web site. (a) management system, or CMS, separates the contents of a Web presentation for a collection of scripts and its content is a database and used for the filling of the page when it is called by a browser, as a result, there are two components integrated with a CMS. the database itself and a system for extracting information from it. various server technologies are capable of doing this, but like many other open source CMS Joomla uses MySQL as database and PHP to populate pages and the site.

Flexibility

There are several reasons that popular, the most convincing CMS is that everyone, even without experience or expertise can create and edit a Web site using a. different permission levels can be assigned by the administrator, give individuals access to add pages and to only access other at their.addition, change, the levels of access can be granted to ensure that publishers have access only to certain parts of the site.Another major advantage, of course, is the cost - or rather, lack thereof.

The disadvantage

A big disadvantage with content management systems is that they are extremely complex, with thousands of files is working with the database. This usually means that a CMS should be developed by technical people with specialized knowledge, but in the case of installation of Joomla is easy and the interface is simple enough for even non technical people.

History

In 1998, Netscape has are free for anyone to use, browser goes against accepted business model and the beginning of a trend. as extended in other software Web has been added to the public domain which has been called "open source" - This included under LINUX, Apache, MySQL and PHP, commonly referred to as "Light".in 2000, an Australian company called Miro has developed a piece of software called Mambo, an open source CMS and released under the GNU license in 2001. It was well-received and hugely successful; 2005, mambo has won several awards as "best free software project" and "best Linux or software open-source", but unfortunately a conflict between the members of the Steering Committee has led developers to base, leaving the project and the formation of the Open Source.

Open Source Matters

Later in 2005, the Open Source development team a revised version of the original Mambo software released and named the Joomla! Joomla Mambo has continued to win awards and a large and active community began to build around Joomla is now perhaps the largest forum on the Web.

Extensions

As an open source CMS has continued to develop, external agencies and developers third to write code that would extend the original feature of community Joomla software given its size and its level of technical expertise.is one of the largest collections of components and plug-ins available for all open source CMS.some of them are offered on a commercial basis, but many are provided free of charge and strongly contribute to the establishment of the scope of Joomla.

Step no later than

One of the strong points of Joomla is the range of available models that easily customize the appearance of a website built with it that many of these available free of charge, while others are commercial;But even these are usually available at a very reasonable price compared to the many commercial CMS.Download and install a template for Joomla is easy and the downloaded zip file can be downloaded directly to a web server Apache;the software Joomla then extracted so that it can be applied to the entire site or specific pages that are selected by the user.

Conclusion

The open source movement grew in stature over the past 10 years and now offers a real alternative in many areas of technology.Joomla is one of the finest examples of the way in which software public participation can developers and ordinary people, allowing it to become a product worthy of its reputation
