New Joomla!-powered website for learning languages

Written by Cory

Wednesday, 17 October 2007

A few weeks ago, I tried out a new free online language learning tool called Mango. I went through a couple of lessons for learning to speak German, and overall I thought it was a great tool. Tonight, I got an e-mail from them saying that their site had moved and been improved, and when I visited the site, I found out that the new site is powered by Joomla! It looks like they are using a customized RocketTheme template, and the application itself is an Adobe Flash-based application. This site is a great example of the power of Joomla!

Hi Cory! Yes Mango utilizes the power of Joomla! We decided to use Joomla! due to its ease in securely managing a community of users. Additionally, we wanted to use a CMS system that everyone in our team could understand. Joomla! fit that bill... Thanks for the mention!

Hi Ryan, thanks for visiting. You have a great site. Whenever I have time, I hope to use it to brush up on my German, which I studied in high school but have since forgotten. Good luck to you and your team.

Mango is a great web site - I've been using it to learn Mandarin Chinese smilies/grin.gif

The new design is really nice and the Flash-thingamy is really easy to use!

About HowToJoomla

HowToJoomla was started in September 2006 by me, Cory Webb, a long-time Mambo/Joomla user with a desire to give back to the community that has given so much to him.

HowToJoomla is not the best, most comprehensive Joomla tips site out there. That's not the goal. The goal is to share some of the knowledge and experience that I have gained through years of using the world's best content managment system. I hope that you will find this site useful and visit often. As I come across new tips and ideas, I will post them here for all to see.

I hope you enjoy using HowToJoomla and find it very useful.

Please take some time to read the Disclaimer.

Thanks for visiting!

About Me

I am a 28-year-old husband and father of a beautiful baby girl named Lucy. I have a degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin, an MBA from Baylor University, and over 4 years experience working with the Mambo/Joomla CMS.

On February 1, 2008, I started a web design, development, and consulting company specializing in designing and developing custom Joomla-powered websites. The new company is aptly named Cory Webb Media, LLC. The double meaning is purely unintentional, but with a last name like "Webb" it is difficult to escape the obvious puns. If you are looking for professional assistance with your website, please feel free to contact me to discuss your project.

I also run HowToJoomla, CoryWebb.com (my personal website/blog), and JoomlaForm.com (a site dedicated to promoting good design in the Joomla! community). In my spare time (if there is such a thing), I volunteer with the youth ministry at my church.
