Once again this year, I'm teaching the "Absolute Beginner's Guide to Drupal" at DrupalCon. This will be the 3rd DrupalCon I've taught at - its a lot of fun and I get to meet some fantastic people!
It's January 10, 2011. Joomla 1.6 Stable should be released sometime before 11:59pm Hawaiian time today!
In preparation for that, we've put together 3 videos that will provide a great overview of what you'll need to know about administering a Joomla 1.6 site.
Part 1 - The Site, Users and Menu Management Menus (9:52)
Part 2 - The Articles, Components, Extensions and Help Menus (15:29)
Joomla 1.6 Access Control Lists (26:31)
They should give you a good start on your preliminary planning for 1.6
