Building Dynamic, Sophisticated, Interactive Websites |
|
|
|
 Setting up
an interactive portal for your company? Building an e-commerce website for your
business? Developing a social network portal for friends and family? Creating a
sophisticated real-estate management site? How long do you think would each of
these take? What if I tell you that it’s possible to build any of these sites
in just a matter of days? Amazing?! I’d say incredible!!!
But it’s
true. With a website development platform and content management system like Joomla , building sophisticated,
interactive, and professional-looking web-based systems is possible within a
short time and at very minimal costs. Because Joomla is largely supported by an
open source community, the website you only dreamed possible is now within
reach and may easily become a reality.
I will be running our Joomla! seminar again on August 15, 2009 (Saturday) at Glizas's seminar venue at #50 Main Ave., cor 10th Ave., Cubao,
Q.C. (near Makro). Reserve your slots early for our Elcott seminars. Contact us at 410-5764 or 0915-3235231 or leave a comment for reservations or
any inquiries.
You may also view other details, see map of venue, and register for the seminar at our cyberoutsource website at:

Please help me also promote it by passing it on to your contacts. Please feel free to pass it on to others whom you think might benefit
from it and recommend it to your friends, relatives, neighbors, officemates, office staff and business colleagues. :-)

Setting up a Local Joomla! Development Environment |
|
|
|
|
Although a website will eventually be deployed on a remote web server to make it available on the World Wide Web, it is ideal to create a local development environment on one’s computer both for convenience and purposes of practicality. Directly developing on a remote webhost is possible but would require constant Internet connection and may have the tendency to be less effective because of connection constraints and bandwidth limitation. It is advisable to work with your Joomla! site directly on your webhost only for minor tweaking and for non-intensive updating of certain portions or features. Setting up a local development environment would then be a good idea.

The Joomla! Content Management System (CMS) |
|
|
|
In my previous article I discussed how the field of website development has evolved from simple static pages to dynamic, interactive sites that offer visitors the richness of content that an organization’s knowledge bank has to offer. The introduction of a content management system into the whole website development process has evolved into sophisticated web development platforms that offer the ability to craft beautifully-designed websites that can easily be managed, revised and maintained without worrying about the content which is managed separately and in parallel by a built-in process of submitting, storing, editing, and publishing.

Welcome to the BDW Newsletter |
|
|
|
Since this is the first article I’m writing for my Joomla! and CMS blog, I’d like to welcome you to this very first issue. Originally, this was supposed to be called the BDW Newsletter and should have been part of our company's website back at Elcott Cyberoutsource . What’s BDW, by the way? BDW is the acronym for the course “Building Dynamic, Sophisticated, Interactive Websites: An Introduction to Website Development Using Joomla!” This is one of three seminars of Elcott Cyberoutsource as part of its Elcott seminar series. The introduction to the invitation that is sent to prospective participants read:
