The much anticipated launch of our online Joomla training course for Beginner Joomla-ites, Joomlashack University, did not disappoint last week. In less than 24 hours we sold out all 100 seats in the inaugural Shack U class of October 2009- and then some!

Joomlashack University is our attempt to make learning Joomla online a fun, interactive, affordable, and "at your own pace" experience. Instructors Forest Linden and Barrie North are guiding the first class through the very basics of getting a Joomla website installed, set up, and built with compelling content.

We're limiting the number of beginner students in our "Charter Class" to keep "class size" small, so we can lavish attention on our students and get the curriculum right. In November we'll re-open ShackU and let another class of eager online learners in!

Not-so-future plans include expanding our "course" offerings into more advanced Joomla skills, and how to run an e-business on Joomla.

Want to be the first to learn about the next offerings from Joomlashack University? Give us your email below, and we'll give you the first shot at joining the next class starting in November.

Here's what some of the students have been saying already!

"Before this course I honestly have been trying to achieve something plain and simple in Joomla like my site for over six months. Within two days of using the videos, which add that human touch with a bit of the explaining that is missing everywhere else, I see Joomla in a completely different light."

"Been using Joomla for a while, and joined up as the temptation to learn more in a structured environment was too great."

"I figured things out the hard way - forums and lots of reading.  I hope to learn a few of the finer points"

"I've made one website using Joomla and I struggled a lot. So when I read about the Joomlashack University I figured it would be a good idea to learn more about all the possibilities of Joomla and it would be nice to get in contact with other students."
