Joomla have released the third beta version of Joomla 1.6 just two weeks since the last release. The Joomla development team have kept their promise so far of wanting to deliver 'time-based beta releases of Joomla 1.6' every 14 days.
The second relase of Joomla 1.6 beta 2 was in May. The new beta release has fixed around 102 issues in the tracker. Much of this progress is directly related to the stepped up efforts of the Joomla! Bug Squad. The team extend their thanks for all the hard work in bringing the project one increment closer to a stable version.
See the Changelog within the download package to learn more about changes in this version. This is the third in a series of continuous betas for Joomla 1.6. Beta 4 was released on June 28, 2010.
If you are currently running Joomla 1.5 we suggest you wait till a more stable version is up and running before upgrading. While the Joomla developement team are always working hard on improvements and create some fantastic work, for those still new to Joomla we feel it's best to master what you know, wait for a more stable version and then upgrade to 1.6 at that stage.
| 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:
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.

Joomla video tutorials, especially the professional grade training videos, are easier to follow and understand than written tutorials and forum posts.
Once you have learned the basics of a Joomla install and configuration you'll find the traditional Joomla tutorial posts much easier to understand because you will have learned the basic language. It's getting that basic language learned that is the key.
So don't give up on Joomla. It is worth the time and effort to get the basic understanding of the platform under your belt.
A little invested in training in the beginning will go along way to saving you mega bucks in the long run, by using such a highly scalable free platform. |
