Joomla is perhaps the most popular open source content management system that runs on the LAMP stack. It is an excellent tool to teach students about:
  1. secure configuration during an application install
  2. the roles of different users and adminstrators in a collaborative application
  3. the beauty of an open source application with a robust development community and active user base
  4. the system architecture of a web-based application

Joomla! is an award-winning Content Management System (CMS) that will help you build websites and other powerful online applications. Best of all, Joomla! is an open source solution that is freely available to everybody. Here are just some of the ways people use Joomla:
  • Corporate websites or portals
  • Online commerce
  • Small business websites
  • Non-profit and organizational websites
  • Government applications
  • Corporate intranets and extranets
  • School and church websites
  • Personal or family homepages
  • Community-based portals

The basic Joomla! package is designed to be easy to install. Most people have no trouble getting our software up and running, and there is plenty of support available for newbies. Once Joomla! is installed and running, it is simple for users to add or edit content, update images, and to manage critical data.

Out of the box, Joomla! does a good job of managing the content needed to make your website sing. But for many people, the true power of Joomla! lies in the application framework that makes it possible for thousands of developers around the world to create powerful add-ons and extensions. Here are just some examples of the hundreds of available extensions:
  • Dynamic form builders
  • Business or organizational directories
  • Document management
  • image and multimedia galleries
  • E-commerce and shopping cart engines
  • Forums and chat software
  • Calendars
  • Blogging software
  • Directory services
  • Email newsletters
  • Data collection and reporting tools
  • Banner advertising systems
  • Subscription services
  • and many, many more…
You can find more examples over at our growing Joomla! Extensions Directory. Joomla! is free, open, and available to all under the GPL license. We don’t claim to be perfect, and can’t promise to meet every requirement in the world. But for many web applications, our software is perfectly suited for the job. We are adding great new features with each release, and with the help and advice of our incredible user community we plan on delivering award-winning software for years to come.
