Version: Joomla 1.5.11
"Does not measure up to all the hype!"
Pros: it's free, but beyond that it is useless if you want to offer it as a content management system.
Cons: I don't like anything about Joomla. It's basically just wasting space on my computer.
Summary: I don't like anything about Joomla. Freeware is useless if you have to go to school to learn to use it or become a full time trainer to teach clients to use it. Very time consuming and difficult to install, then very complicated to actually use it. I don't see why the media is pushing that this is so easy because it's just the opposite. It will be a sad day if this becomes the norm for web design and development. You will have to spend more time training clients to use it than it takes to build a real website using real industry standard software. Much easier to teach clients to use Adobe Contribute as a CMS than to bother with this useless freeware.
