Two-Part Hands-On Workshop

This event is designed for developers and Joomla enthusiasts of all levels. We’ll provide a ready-to-use base site so you can follow along during the session. While basic coding experience is helpful, it's not required — just bring your curiosity and willingness to learn!

Section One: Customizing with Module Overrides

Led by Viviana Menzel and Daniel Dubois, this session will guide participants through creating module overrides using different parameters and layout adjustments. It’s a great opportunity to understand the power of Joomla templating and customization techniques.

Section Two: Adding Interactivity with GSAP

In this creative session, Shirat Goldstein will demonstrate how to enhance your module with dynamic effects using GSAP (GreenSock Animation Platform). Learn how simple animations can elevate the user experience on your Joomla site.
