“If you’ve been using or following Joomla! in the past years, you’ve most likely seen the name Barrie North or Joomlashack. Besides explaining how Joomla! works from a usability point of view, there is valuable information for people who want to learn serious template building to make their (X)HTML and CSS optimized for accessibility and SEO.” –Arno Zijlstra, Joomla! cofounder, custom template specialist, alvaana.com

“Barrie North does an excellent job. It is suitable for both the first time user and those who have been using Joomla! for a very long time; it’s logically structured and will help you create a dynamic website in a very short space of time.” –Brian Teeman, cofounder of Joomla! and OpenSourceMatters Inc.

Summary: Great presenter – many technical problems with video
Rating: 3

As a new Joomla user I expected to get a highly polished video introduction to this highly rated CMS system. What I got reached about 70% of my expectations. The problem is in the editing of the DVD. The video and audio were about 30 seconds out of synch in a critical chapter (chap. 6) making the instructions impossible to follow. In other chapters some outakes were left in when the instructor made verbal mistakes. I was doubly disappointed about this because the author/presenter is one of the leading authorities on Joomla training, making it a major reason for me to buy this DVD. There is valuable instruction in this DVD and it would be well worth the $44+ if the errors were corrected.
