Joomla Day Johannesburg has come and gone

Monday, 20 October 2008 06:10

I attended my first Joomla Day with about 80 other Joomla afficionados, addicts, newbies and other interested souls who were prepared to give up their Saturday in favour of learning more about Joomla and meeting other like minded people.

With a mix of experienced users to complete newbies attending the day's fare was a mixed bag of Joomla basics and technical presentations with the presentation on Joomla security by co-organiser Brendon Hatcher of BrilliantWeb probably the most actively participated session, especially in the light of recent Joomla hack-attacks.

I did a presentation about Internet marketing with Joomla that got off to such a nervous start that I was worried that I wouldn't be able to use my full time allocation. Fortunately, participation pick up the session wasn't a total flop.

Joomla Cape Town Feedback from the day

I attended the Joomla Day held in Cape Town on the 19th July and wanted to congratulate you on a well organised event. Although I am only a beginner user, I expected most of the content to be a little out of my league but I managed to follow most of it and gained some valuable insight into Joomla as a whole.
