Beginner's Guide

Chapter 24
Resources
This book was a beginning. I hope you enjoyed reading it. My intention was to guide you through
Joomla 2.5. Not everything was covered because that would have been too much.
I think we could use a developer book and a template designer book to dip deeper into these topics.
Nobody knows what the future holds in store!
What kind of useful resources are there for you to learn more about Joomla or to get in touch with
the Joomla community?
