Professional Joomla! will be appeal to Web developers, hobbyists, Web designers, small and medium-sized businesses, e-commerce merchants, and nonprofit organizations. The broad interest in acquiring professional Joomla skills goes beyond the normal development community, since companies that have adopted Joomla technology host every type of Web site and range from real estate firms to fitness companies to funeral homes.
This book is of particular interest to bloggers, corporate content creators, and support specialists. However, anyone with access to a Web-hosting site that allows PHP/MySQL content deployment (which includes popular sites such as GoDaddy.com, Rochen.com, and SiteGround.com) will be able to deploy a Joomla! site with all of the features shown in this book.
To use this book effectively, you should already have completed at least a basic installation experience with Joomla. If you are already familiar with earlier versions of Joomla, you will have no trouble with any of the techniques or features. Joomla updates retain enough continuity that, aside from menu reorganization, the core aspects of handling a Joomla system have remained unchanged. Programming Joomla has been altered dramatically, however, so be sure to pay close attention to the examples and note boxes that make explicit the new way of doing things.
Additionally, there is a great deal of PHP programming involved, so basic skills in this area are also necessary to harness the power of the instructions of this book. Knowledge of Web server configuration is recommended but not required if you are running your site on a remote host.
With each chapter, I have tried to build on the chapters that precede it. Therefore, although the book can be read nonsequentially, I recommend that you read at least the first six chapters in order. After that, there is a lot more flexibility to skip to areas of particular interest without becoming confused regarding some Joomla-specific topic that was skipped.
