What is a CMS?
CMS = Content Management System
Site is managed by a database
Dynamic content generation - page doesn’t exist until a user calls for it.
Joomla, Database & Template work together to create your website

What is Open Source?
The code is not locked, so anybody can edit and customize it.
Generally free, but not always. Joomla is given away for free.
Why would developers not lock the code and give it away for free?
Popular types of open source software:• web browsers
• customer relationship management (CRM) systems
• project management systems
• nug tracking systems
• message boards
• blogging platforms
Firefox is a popular example

How Joomla Works
Content is separate from style• Content is stored in the database as data
• Style is dictated by your template - also called a skin

How the Template Works
Combination of code types to generate look and feel• PHP, HTML, CSS
Contains styling information:• Graphic design
• Page structure
• Text/color/spacing styling
Template is like a filter. All content goes through template to get styling information for presentation on website.

How Extensions Work
Extends the functionality of the Joomla core
Like mini-programs
Because Joomla is open-source, 1,000s of extensions are developed each year – 7,594 extensions to date
Easy to find a developer to build something custom
