Section 3 of Joomla 3 Webmaster is now online and this completes the main part of this course. If you’re a web host, trainer or developer, you now have the unique opportunity to provide a non-branded version of this course to your customers.

Section 2 of Joomla 3 Webmaster - Creating & Managing Content - is now online for members.

I'm seriously excited to announce that the first section of our latest course is now online. Joomla 3 Webmaster teaches everything there is to know about Joomla! 3.

Joomla is a common choice in the community of web developers, as it provides enormous flexibility, vital for creating powerful sites with a minimum effort. This open-source CMS isn’t only easy to install, but also provides advanced support in managing and updating websites. Google and other search engines face no obstacles with the indexation of online portals built with this tool. In such a way, users of Joomla can boost visibility of their web resources and deliver their content to the wider audience.

Thanks for helping our free course - The Basics for Joomla 3 - become the most popular Joomla course at Udemy!

Our latest release is an update to our ever-popular "Build a Joomla Website from Scratch" course. This is the third time I have produced this course, but this version is a massive update with 43 lessons and over 6 hours of video tutorials.

Earlier this month The Joomla! Project released the beta version of Joomla 3.1. This gives the community a great opportunity to see what's in the pipeline for stable releases, and it allows extension developers the opportunity to test their code on the new version. Aside from finding out about this new feature, Tags, the biggest question will no doubt be...Should I upgrade?

2012 was a big year for the Joomla world and there’s more to come in 2013. Read on to discover my 3 highlights for this year as well as the things to look out for next year. We’re also getting close to the end of our introductory offer for Joomla Pro, so now is the best time to buy to avoid the price rise.

jQuery:

jQuery is a JavaScript library that was initially released in 2006 and is currently used by more than 55% of the 10,000 most visited websites. It is claimed to be the most popular JavaScript library today. The Joomla! Project has decided to include jQuery in the core of Joomla 3.0 and on.

While the MooTools JavaScript library will still be included in the Joomla core as well, jQuery will be heavily used as it integrates directly with the Twitter Bootstrap framework, which the Joomla CMS is based on beginning with version 3.0.

This week the Joomla! Project released a security update for the Joomla 3 series. This update addresses a low priority XSS vulnerability in the Joomla Core as well as introducing a new feature and fixing 47 tracker issues.
