[Solved] Good tutorials for Joomla? [closed]

Question

The best tutorial you can get is to install Joomla on your localhost and just play around with it!

Besides Joomla you can also look into other CMS but I’d say Joomla fits best to the criteria you mentioned. WordPress was originally a blogging engine and that’s what is still mostly is. Drupal is another great free PHP CMS but if you want ease-of-use then Joomla wins over Drupal. Both have loads of extensions but also there Joomla wins. At least in terms of quantity… quality is another question. In the Joomla extension universe, the quality can be from incredibly bad to excellent. With drupal the variance is a bit smaller, I’d say.

Whether or not your Joomla install gets hacked really depends mostly on how you host it. Example: Most ppl use JoomlaPack with Joomla but they use the default settings which means the backup directory is inside the web root. And that can be a security problem.
