History Of CMS Joomla
Joomla is one of the most phenomenal web products. Joomla began to be developed since 2005 and since it instantly began to be used by many people. By using the
Joomla, process design, development, implementation, and maintenance of the web becomes very easy.
With Joomla, layman though can make a website with a great view, structured, and impressed the professionals and not random.
Even if using the default theme, Joomla display had enough fun. Moreover, if the preferred theme is chosen, the appearance will be more could be great again. Although the official Joomla development began in 2005, but actually the basic had started since 2001, namely the emergence of Mambo, the forerunner of Joomla.
Mambo is a content management system project developed by Miro Corporation. In his day, Mambo is a content management application sophisticated enough that is open
source. Because it was developed using the open source principle, many open source developers who contribute to continue developing Mambo.
However, in 2005, there is a mismatch between the open source developers and non-profit companies that govern the development of Mambo. And finally in August 2005, staff developers began developing Mambo content management software
with the new basic Mambo.
In the short time since the split from Mambo to Joomla, Joomla 1.0 version appears. Because it was developed from a base of Mambo, the first version of Joomla is still compatible with Mambo 4.5.2.3 version, most of his plugins can be used in both. But, the interface and site management in Joomla already facilitated more than Mambo.
Due to a problem with Mambo, start a new Joomla version developed does not emulate the Mambo. Since the release of the Joomla 1.0, Joomla users keeps growing and development process any faster.
A radical development for Joomla that are not based on Mambo started since Joomla 1.5 version. Start this version, Joomla architecture start rebuilt as a PHP framework
using the principles of object-oriented programming.
Differences between version 1.5 with basic version 1.0 so that it causes the extensions or templates from version 1.0 and 1.5 are not mutually compatible, unless it is applied in a fashion legacy.
For that reason, the current Joomla has 2 versions that are not mutually compatible. This sometimes can create problems for developers. However, for the sake of better prospects in the future,
changes to Joomla from Mambo to use framework based PHP will continue to do.
In his first year alone, Joomla already downloaded more than 2.5 million times from around the world. Joomla has been used by many webmasters from all over the world, from America to South Africa began, and from Indonesia to Italy.
In previous versions of Joomla, Joomla implementation less useful on sites that have very high traffic. If accessed by many users, Joomla would be likely to slow. This is because the presence of a block of code that is accessible to every page, regardless of whether the page is using all the features of the code block or not?
In version 1.5, Joomla developers start investigating this problem and eliminate the cause. As a result, the speed of access to Joomla when accessed by many users stay awake because only the features and modules that are used by the web page
are taken and executed.
