Joomla 3: A Paradigm Shift

Joomla 3 the latest version of Joomla is releasing in three months and the Joomla team has come out with official news for Joomla developers and Joomla programmers about the new version. Before Joomla developers upgraded from the older version to Joomla 3.0, it is advised for them to read about the update.

Joomla 3 Basics

Joomla programmers have been eagerly waiting for the release of Joomla 3 but the latest news from the Joomla developer’s side is that the programmers can continue working with Joomla 2.5 until 2013/2014. This is because of the fact that Joomla has been targeted for Joomla developers and early adopters of Joomla.

The Joomla developer’s team advised the Joomla programmers to stay with Joomla 2.5 as it will be definitely supported until 2013 or 2014 maximum. Joomla developers are excited as version 3.0 of Joomla has been developed predominantly for speeding up its adoptability with the mobile revolution that has been taking over the world.

The process of upgrading has also been simplified where the Joomla programmer can update from Joomla 2.5 to 3.0 from their site’s administrator end itself.  Joomla developers need not re-install by downloading the setup file again from the internet separately.


 Joomla Developers Called for Action

Joomla User Experience (JUX) team has started calling Joomla developers from all over the world for enhancing its already paved path for its visionary move to capture the mobile platform. The user experience for the mobile platform has to be tweaked to the optimal level so that users find it simple and sophisticated to navigate and use the Joomla program.

There are many modules and extensions present in the mobile module of the Joomla function and the Joomla User Interface thus the Joomla User Experience team has called upon all Joomla programmers and Joomla developers to come forward for testing the already built module, give feedback and provide better solutions for the augmentation of the modules.

This invitation from Joomla has been a welcome gesture for all Joomla developer from all over the world as this gives an opportunity for various Joomla programmers to come up with versatile issues faced by them during their experiences while using the Beta version of the mobile version of Joomla.

Expectations from Joomla Developers

The Joomla programmers volunteering for the Joomla User Experience Team’s call are expected to have certain ideas before they start working on the project for its development.

The admin and site templates of the platform have been entirely altered but the Joomla developers can still do usability testing and provide their feedback.  Joomla 3.0 is expected to consist of Bootsrap. Not just the Bootstrap the entire Joomla User Interface itself is not just an admin template or a frontend template. As Bootstrap has to be integrated in the function some core frontend and admin outputs, and some layouts may change more substantially. This is a process towards standardizing the template into a genuine frontend as well as a backend User Interface element which can be used for developments on both sides.
