An Introduction to Web Development Using Joomla

Setting up an interactive portal for your company? Building an e-commerce website for your business? Developing a social network portal for friends and family? Creating a sophisticated real-estate management site? How long do you think would each of these take? What if I tell you that it’s possible to build any of these sites in just a matter of days? Amazing?! I’d say incredible!!!

But it’s true. With a website development platform and content management system like Joomla , building sophisticated, interactive, and professional-looking web-based systems is possible within a short time and at very minimal costs. Because Joomla is largely supported by an open source community, the website you only dreamed possible is now within reach and may easily become a reality.

The good news is that I’ve decided to share what I’ve learned building Joomla-based websites through a half-day seminar entitled Using a Content Management System: Building Sophisticated, Interactive Websites Using Joomla!.

The seminar will be held on the following schedules:

• June 5, 2008: 8:00 AM to 12:00 noon
• June 7, 2008: 1:00 to 5:00 PM
• June 11, 2008: 1:00 to 5:00 PM
• June 13, 2008: 8:00 AM to 12:00 noon

In this seminar, I will share:
 

1. How to install a Joomla-based website
2. How to set up and manage a Joomla-based development environment
3. How to work with Joomla themes to achieve your desired look and feel in your websites.
4. Extending a basic Joomla site with components, modules, and plugins.
5. Setting up different business-specific sites in Joomla.
6. How to build an interactive portal for your business, school or any organization.
7. How to build a full-featured e-commerce website.
8. Creating sophisticated member-management systems that come close to a social networking portal.
9. How to build a real-estate management system.
10. And lots more …

For a minimal cost of P 950.00 (which includes a snack break), you will get 3 ½ solid hours (4 if you decide to continue listening to my stories even while you’re eating during the snack break ) of valuable CMS-based website development information that I painstakingly studied and discovered. You will also be getting a seminar kit which contains a printed copy of the seminar discussion, a CD which contains the FREE software products discussed in the seminar and a library of Joomla themes and extensions in the form of Joomla components, modules, and plugins to start you off on your CMS web projects, together with an electronic copy of the slide presentation(s).

The seminar will be held at the Ateneo Professional Schools' Salcedo Village campus (on HV dela Costa St.). There is a map to the venue on the seminar's [ registration page ].
