In plain Pimp, Joomla is a little bit of everything you think it is, and allot of bit the things you didn't even know about. You basically upload joomla onto your web space,pick out a template or two,because w/ joomla you can use a different template for every page if you wish. The main thing with joomla, is also it's best thing....Flexibility. Joomla's tutorial they suggest you think of joomla as a content management,and not the actual content itself. Whatever you are looking for chances are joomla has it covered. Once you upload everything, you're able to go to your site and login as an administrator and assume control over it. Most web developing starts with nothing and is created one item at a time. Joomla is the exact opposite. You start off with absolutely everything and the kitchen sink. You have to whittle it down,and take away the things you don't want. The selling point to Joomla is how easy these site resources are put into place.Theres a module for anything you can think off in joomla. And everything you can't. The user registration,group email management, and all these "dashboard" style command center allows you to see whats going on in real time on your web site. The way it all comes together full circle for you is what makes it the best Open Source community supported option available. Anyways that's my take on it but heres what the experts say....
