power that Joomla! 1.6 offers! Comments (75) Hi John, it was one of my ideas with this book to have something freely available for beginner's in user groups. Please tell them to comment in the HTML version on the chapters if they find errors or things I forgot and whether it was useful. I learned Joomla! many years ago reading a Mambo book written by Hagen. I also had the opportunity to meet him a few years ago in San Francisco where we both presented at an OSCMS conference. Given his knowledge and depth of experience with Joomla!, you can be confident this book will help you learn Joomla!, too. The fact that he is sharing electronic copies at no charge to the Joomla! community speaks to his love of community. Hagen - I really appreciate your generosity, kindness, support, and involvement with Joomla! and free software over the years. You da man. Oh Amy what can I say :-) #meltingaway may be ... 'you see people always twice in your life and it is good to think of that when you met them for the first time' Hope to see you again soon somewhere on this planet Hi Leo, it is for sure no masterpiece :-) but you're right. It was the time to do something and I am very curious about the future of Joomla!. About the 1.7 release in July 2011, the Molajo distrubution and the Nooku thingie. This project has so much potential! Hi Joe Joomla!
