MooTools:

MooTools is an object-oriented JavaScript framework that is still somewhat widely used throughout the internet. It is the JavaScript library that Joomla has used since its inception. The name is taken from an acronym: My Object-Oriented Tools.

Using a JavaScript library such as MooTools allows developers to rapidly create extensions and update code, while reusing trustworthy pieces of code over and over. This saves time and is generally thought to greatly reduce errors and security problems.

JoomShaper has released its latest responsive Joomla template, Edumatics, which is powered by JomSocial's solid social networking capabilities and is aimed at the education provider market.

YOOtheme's October release is a stripped down Joomla template featuring a front page slide show and a comparison chart table for those in the corporate world to show off their services and content without any frills.

Server:

In the Client-Server relationship, a server is the system that stores, manipulates and provides data to a client that requests it. Email servers, web servers and databases are all examples of different types of common servers.

In a Joomla setup, the server is the system including the web server, which is usually Apache, and a database. These are often on the same machine, but they can also be on different systems in a distributed server environment.

As version 3.0 of Joomla's CMS hit the streets last week, the anticipation grew, and as Alice Grevet points out in this month's edition of the Joomla! Magazine, "A little buzz happens in the press with every release, but this time it's different."

The October edition of the magazine spotlights Joomla 3, and some very important topics within the Joomla world.
