Closing Remark

After studying this course, I have been updated with some industry new developments and theories, I have done more research and am now convinced that our business (as a SME) should use an open source CMS such as Joomla, Drupal or Wordpress. I have used Drupal in the past, but Joomla 1.5 and its Joomla framework tools seems to be able to take our project further.

I have recently been using Joomla 1.0 (a version of Mamba) as our CMS for various websites including a new Corporate website (http://www.ClubFervor.com ) . Currently I am also evaluating Joomla 1.5 which has subtantial support from various frameworks.

I have also recently reviwed some presentation from the developer community. Here is one of them http://hdl.handle.net/1807/10363 and http://www.scribd.com/doc/15093512/Joomla-Framework-Tour

It appears that using a framework development tools, i may be able to make use of the Joomla CMS and wrapped around it with custom application developed via rapid prototyping tools.

Interesting indeed. !!
