Joomla! Discussion Forums

I have never built a website before. I decided to learn Joomla for all the sites I plan to build.

A major element to the learning process that I find missing is that there are very few step-by-step examples out there.

Is there any example out there which shows a completed websites and then works backward to show step by step how those websites was built with joomla?

The Joomla! v 1.5 Quick Start Guide and Learn Joomla! 1.5 Fast! documents are very good in this regard but only cover the initial simple stuff. I would like to see a much more comprehensive "practical guide" rather than a "didactic user manual" or consult the "help screen" approach.

While Joomla is excellent, it still takes a lot of time to learn for someone completely new to the website building process.

Hi. This article is not exactly what you are asking for, but might be in the right direction: http://community.joomla.org/magazine/ar ... -data.html. Mark
