Joomla, content management system built with open source PHP under a GPL license. and is freely available for anyone wanting to use it. This content management system is used to publish on the Internet and intranets using a MySQL database. In Joomla! include features such as page caching to improve performance, web indexing, RSS feed, printable versions of pages, flash news, blogs, forums, polls (surveys), calendars, Web site search, and internationalization of the language.

The publication of content and its update is done through a web browser from any computer connected to the Internet. The administrator will access with your password to this administration panel from which you can perform all operations, both the management modules and components will be explained later:

The control panel is divided into 4 areas:

1. Top Menu: This is the navigation with paragraphs down and their options.
2. Toolbar: provides the administrator with various tools for creating and manipulating content.
3. Information Bar: We provided details on the site name, the current section of work, the name of the user identified as an administrator, you have many messages from other administrators, and number of users that are connected at their website at that time.
4. Work area: the area that is updated when a selection is made from the Tools menu. Allows you to select the elements that we want to work and edit (or insert content).

Components and Modules are components that add functionality to Joomla, but not the same. If you used other web content management systems (like Drupal), it is possible to confuse terms. What in Drupal, to give an example, we define as modules, Joomla modules would be equivalent to what in these other systems are the blocks.

In summary:

• When we speak of components in Joomla, we refer to small independent applications each handling the information within Joomla. The basic installation of Joomla brings incorporated several components in addition to publishing news or manage users allow us to create a directory of Web links, see news from other external sites publish surveys and advertising, etc..
• While the modules are elements of the system information blocks that are in different positions or areas of the template. Show secondary information, simplified and brief taken from the database and then loaded on the periphery of the template (usually the lateral columns, the header or footer.

In terms of design, this application is based on templates, which allows us to change the design of the site easily (there are over 1000 templates for download, and install in the system).
