Visual QuickStart Guides are now even more visual: Building
on the success of the top-selling Visual QuickStart Guide books,
Peachpit now offers Video QuickStarts. Peachpit offers more than an
hour of short, task-based videos that will help you master Joomla’s
top features and techniques; instead of just reading about how to
use a tool, you can watch it in action. It’s a great way to learn
all the basics and some of the newer or more complex features of
the program. This task-based guide is the perfect tool for those
just starting with Joomla. It shows how to create, customize, and
maintain a dynamic Joomla 1.6 website starting with fundamental
concepts, and then going through essential features. You'll learn
not only the functions of Joomla–such as adding content and
structure, creating categories and menus, and using the media
manager, modules, and templates-but also how each function works
with the whole.
