I\u2019m back to Joomla! to understand more about it. Previously, DotNetNuke was my choice for my experimental website for some time before I totally abandoned it for its complexity and instability. I\u2019m not sure why it was so unstable, frequently crashed exposing \u2018ugly\u2019 asp.net error codes. Then I found this LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) open source blog and CMS software like WordPress, Joomla!. Miraculously, these software never crashed while on operation! I was hooked very much since, never looked back especially to ASP.NET based bloatware.<\/p>\n
Already understanding CMS in general, I dived directly into Joomla! hoping to setup a working website in few days but didn\u2019t work out that way. The system itself was solid-rock stable but it was not as easy as I hoped to learn. So called, steep learning curve fits to this system, so I bought a Joomla! book to jump start my project. The book was <<Joomla! A USER\u2019S GUIDE, Building A Successful Joomla! Powered Website>> by Barrie M. North. Presumably, it appeared to be a good book from Amazon\u2019s review. How wrong I was\u2026 In short, this is one of the worst book I\u2019ve ever read. It, however, did a very good job to confuse me. I seriously doubt the author actually followed the example screen shots against sample code. They simply didn\u2019t match! Let me show some example of what I said on my coming blog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
