Joomla! Explained teaches everything beginners need to know--and nothing they don't need to know!
Joomla! Explained requires absolutely no experience with Joomla! content management, website construction, programming, scripting, or even HTML.

- Understanding what Joomla! does and how it works
- Installing the latest version of Joomla
- Navigating your site's visitor and administrator areas
- Mastering workflows that make site creation easy
- Adding text, images, links, and formatting
- Creating efficient, usable navigation
- Providing contact forms, ad banners, and link directories
- Using modules to enable site registration and search
- Adding voting and other smaller "plug-in" features
- Quickly changing site designs with Joomla! templates
