What is Joomla! and why should I be interested?




Where do I get started?

Firstly, see if there are any Joomla! User Groups near you, or a Joomla!Day event you could attend. Having a community of people you can talk to or ask questions of is really helpful in the process of learning how to use any new system. It often saves hours, if not days of fiddling or researching to just ask the question and have someone give you an answer (or advise where to find the answer).

Find your nearest User Group

Next, create yourself an account on the Joomla! forums. While the forums are user to user support, there are a LOT of users, and a lot of experienced users for that matter. Make sure you take the time to read the posting guidelines at the top of the forums before you post, and include all the relevant information.

While you're here, see if you might be able to help someone else. Good practice is to answer one post for every post you make asking for help, as a minimum.

Visit the Joomla! forums

Next, create yourself an account here on the Joomla! Documentation Project. Newcomers are a great help with documentation, as you often see things with a 'fresh pair of eyes' and can identify mistakes or pick up errors easier.

Just click on the link in the top right, and create your account. If you find any documentation that needs updating or reviewing, simply log in, edit the appropriate item, and submit your revisions. Likewise if you can add any examples (especially to coding/API related documentation) you can do this too!
