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:

jcalpro-tutorialOne of the things we're passionate about is training.  Yes, we're an internet marketing/web design company... but Rod loves to teach.  He's just finished his 115th online training video for OSTraining.com.  The topic of this video was JCalPro - a calendar component for Joomla (view the tutorials).

Anything Digital featured the video in their November newsletter - (view online).

We're doing a lot of online video!  Take a look at some of the samples at http://www.navigatetomorrow.tv - and if we can help you - please talk to us!
