Joomla Revolution! How This Free Software Is Changing The Web?

by: Antonio De Luca


Joomla is changing the web, there is no one better sentence to describe
what this young FREE SOFTWARE project is doing from two years ago. We
all know that the web permeates today all sides of our life and
therefore is perfectly comprehensible that Joomla, been born as a CMS
for simplified construction of sites of all types, is interesting a lot
of people around the world for the incredible amount of its FREE
extensions, that are available through the central site
extension.joomla.org, and for its large development community that give
support and constantly enhancements of features.



But now Joomla wouldn't not be more considered only a CMS, whatever
are the applicative targets in which we are interested to use it for.
The time of standalone applications is ending and therefore we should
understand that a revolutionary web application platform as Joomla is
the right solution that all people are waiting for. The new version of
Joomla, currently in Beta2 state, is an innovative and intuitive
implementation of the MVC pattern, a famous generalized programming
architecture that force the developers to write a more scalable and
manageable code and that give to others a lot of competitive advantages
as User Interface separation, lower development cost, greater
reusability and maximized stability and adaptability.



Joomla 1.5, that's the version number of the new platform, has been
rewrote from the scratch by the Core Development Team to obtain a very
powerful framework that will boost web developer productivity and that
will maximize the users experience. Obviously the Core Team don't know
what will be the really boom that this new project would generate on
the web but we can admit for sure that the stable release is attended
from thousands of people.



Joomla 1.5 have the great merit of not attempt to be a "all purpose
application in itself", trying instead to give users a solid platform
around which can revolve various types of third party developed web
applications. Joomla 1.5 is using moreover only well supported and
diffused technologies as PHP and MySQL and it join these ones with an
Enterprise oriented vision.



Joomla 1.5 is not compatible with the old Joomla 1.0.X and
therefore a lot of people are thinking that only a few part of already
existing extensions will be adapted to this system. The problem is that
not all extensions, more precisely a lot few, are compatible with the
new version of this framework. Some people believe that a software,
that already do well what it would have to be done, is already a
perfect software and that there are no reasons to change the way it
work. They can ask for: "Why I should change my perfectly running
system?". The answer is simple: "Because the time is changing and is
not possible to use again a bicycle to drive into an highway".



Joomla 1.5 will help developers to implement stronger and powerful
applications that will be available only to who will approach a new web
project using this new platform. At the same time others old Joomla
extensions , that are not compatible, will remain out of a market that
will have the maximum momentum in the nearest future.



Many people have talked in those last years about the end of
Internet economy and about a possible crash of all the infrastructure.
Nothing wouldn't be more wrong. Internet is the future and only now we
are seeing it arriving in our real daily life.



Internet is far from the period in which it was constituted of
simple sites. Now internet is becoming a complex network of interactive
systems and a lot of our social and economic habits are already based
on it or they will be very soon. Every days thousands of people,
companies and institutions join the big network with the objective of
not only read/made some simple web pages.



Today we all ask for more interactivity and integrability of
systems that get us capable of live and work in the new global world.
Unfortunately users understanding is not evolving as fast as the global
system in itself. We all also ask for solutions that simplify this
tremendous competition and that will define a standard to help people
in managing their web experience.



Evolution is not really if it is not for all and therefore a good
solution MUST BE a FREE SOFTWARE one that people can use, modify, adapt
and redistribute without limits. People need also simplicity because
they wouldn't lose their time in trying to understand all the
technological background.



Joomla 1.5 is offering NOW a FREE and REVOLUTIONARY web
applications framework that with the use of thousands of external third
party applications get users capable of implement their web place. It
is very simple to install, config and use. Extensions are constantly
growing and will cover all aspects of online activities very soon.



Joomla 1.5 will be the best choice for every day web development
when interaction and availability of software would not continue to be
limited on a single workstation. Joomla 1.5 will be the obviously
choice for who will want to start projects with usability and
simplification in mind. Joomla 1.5 will be the next web revolution for
people that are not expert or guru. Joomla 1.5 will be the New Internet
Indoor for who have never thought that he can do anything of this type.
Joomla 1.5 will discover the Internet Potential of all people.
