I was very excited to jump into learning Joomla quick and as I received this package after jumping through a few hoops, I was pleased with the fact that the video was simple and good paced. I wasn't bothered by the mispronounciation of Joomla "Jamal" as another reviewer was so quick to complain about.

I was however slightly dissapointed that the installation and configuration of the JSAS (Joomla local server program) was not explained in detail. I suppose that the instructor considered this to be common knowledge. Though, its not very difficult to figure JSAS out, but I would strongly suggest that he include this very important information with the video training.

As it is easier to find error in others than to find positive things, the only other error that hardly confused me was the reference to Firefox which was really meaning "Macromedia/Adobe Fireworks". But who cares! I sure didn't. But he really should fix that so others don't get lost.


The great part of this training is that it is geared toward Dreamweaver users and it has a wonderful Dreamweaver extention that really put a smile on my face! The extention makes building Joomla websites quick and easy.

I Also very much enjoyed the fact that the focus of the training was to help you brand name your own templates. He even included a quick rundown on creating and embedding a favicon. That was a sweet surprise indeed!

All in all, I would highly recommend this training package for all web designers that want to jump right into the Joomla world.
