Joomla Tutorial Options

 

When it comes to learning how to use Joomla, there are a number of Joomla Tutorial options to choose from, each coming with strengths and weaknesses. Our favorite of course is through Joomla Video Tutorials because if you purchase a professional series, you can master Joomla and make your website within a day as you follow along with the videos.

 

 

However, there are other options including:

 

• Classes at a Technical Institute
• Joomla for Dummies - the book
• DIY Approach ferreting through forums
• eBooks or Joomla PDF Manuals

 

When people are looking for a Joomla tutorial they generally are looking for something online that will help them with their query right now.

 

Joomla tutorials through forums can be difficult to understand if you are not a programmer and don’t have a basic language of web development. Many a newbie will abandon the Open Source Software here because it all seems too hard. Take a look at some of the complaints laid on Yahoo Answers:

 

 

The questioner makes a valid point. Many of the Joomla tutorial sites online also skip around and there isn't a good step by step process for beginners to learn the basics through the configuration of the various modules, plug-ins, extensions and components. We made the Joomla Video Tutorial series for exactly this reason. Our own frustration lead to providing something we were looking for ourselves and couldn't find. Here's another common complaint also found on Yahoo Answers:

 

 

We already learned that the Joomla for Dummies 'skips all around' and didn't provide much help for the so called dummies. This is because most of the tutorials are written by developers and programmers who already have a volume of experience and language that gives them a basic understand to draw on. If you are new to all of this, the very language they use to explain things will be like a foreign language.
