We've Released Three New Joomla 1.6 Videos - Including ACL

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

 

How the web is built - Static html vs the CMS

The folks over at W3Techs.com have released an interesting study on the distribution of web development styles.

A whopping 76% of websites are still not using a popular CMS.  This doesn't necessarily mean that they are static sites... many could be dynamic - using PHP or another tool... but only 24% are using a recognizable content management system like Joomla or WordPress.  


OSTraining Offers FREE Classes to Schools

This is a pretty cool!

Here's part of their announcement:

That landmark coincided with the holiday season so we celebrated by giving back: we held a free class for 16 non-profit organizations in Atlanta.

Fast forward almost a year and last week we hit another milestone: 200 live classes!  Those Joomla and Drupal classes were held all across North America and England, from Los Angeles to London and from Vancouver to Miami.

This year's landmark also coincided with the holiday season and so we've decided to give back again, only bigger and better:

Merry Christmas and Thank You

Merry_Christmas_and_Thank_You.1
As we come to this holiday season, we recognize that while it has been a difficult year for many, we are truly blessed none-the-less. We would like to take a moment to say thank you for your friendship, business and continued trust in us.

While 2009 was a great year, we're anticipating that 2010 will be even better. We're rolling out some new tools early in the year to help you with your sites, we're just completing a 50 lesson online tutorial for Joomla and lots more (details to come in the new year)...

But for now, THANK YOU, and we wish you a prosperous and happy New Year.
