 Chapter 8: A Website with Joomla

Now perhaps you have read the entire book up to this point. You have seen dozens of administration pages. You have racked your brain about the connection between web technologies and Joomla! structures. You have heard about all kinds of mnemonics like HTTP, HTML, CSS, SQL, PHP, SEF, div, and others.

But all you wanted was a website! And perhaps you have come to this chapter first because of precisely that reason. It doesn't matter—welcome to a concrete example. This chapter describes the building of a website from idea to realization.
