Joomla! Overview

Joomla! is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) for publishing web content. Built on a modelโ€“viewโ€“controller web application framework, Joomla! can be used independently of the CMS. It is written in PHP, uses object-oriented programming (OOP) techniques and software design patterns, and stores data in general on a MySQL database. Joomla! includes features such as page caching, RSS feeds, printable versions of pages, news flashes, blogs, search, and support for language internationalization.
