WHAT IS JOOMLA?
• Joomla! is a free and open-source content management system (CMS)
for publishing web content. It is built on a model–view–controller web
application framework that can be used independently of the CMS
that allows you to build powerful online applications.
• What's a content management system (CMS)?
• The definition of a CMS is an application (web-based), that provides
capabilities for multiple users with different permission levels to
manage (all or a section of) content, data or information of a website
project, or intranet application.
Managing content refers to creating, editing, archiving, publishing,
collaborating on, reporting, distributing website content, data and
information.

HOW JOOMLA WORK?
• Template
• Components
• Modules
• Plugins

WHAT IS COMPONENT ?
• A component is a kind of Joomla! extension. Components are the
main functional units of Joomla!; they can be seen as mini-
applications. An easy analogy would be that Joomla! is the operating
system and the components are desktop applications. Created by a
component, content is usually displayed in the center of the main
content area of a template (depending on the template).
• Most components have two main parts: an administrator part and
a site part. The site part is what is used to render pages of your site
when they are requested by your site visitors during normal site
operation. The administrator part provides an interface to configure
and manage different aspects of the component and is accessible
through the Joomla! administrator application.
• Joomla! comes with a number of core components, like the content
management system, contact forms and Web Links.

WHAT IS MODULE ?
• Modules are lightweight and flexible extensions used for page
rendering. These modules are often “boxes” arranged around
a component on a typical page. A well-known example is the login
module. Modules are assigned per menu item, so you can decide to
show or hide (for example) the login module depending on which page
(menu item) the user is currently on. Some modules are linked to
components: the “latest news” module, for example, links to the
content component (com_content) and displays links to the newest
content items. However, modules do not need to be linked to
components; they don't even need to be linked to anything and can be
just static HTML or text.
• Modules are managed in the Joomla! Administrator view by the Module
Manager. More information about module management can be found
on the appropriate version help screens.
