A Day of Coding event is a hands-on way to bring developers and learners together to solve a real-world challenge. Participants get the opportunity to follow along with experienced developers, learn practical coding techniques, and leave with a working solution.

What’s going on with our Joomla User Groups? A whole lot of community, creativity, and collaboration!

Joomla User Groups (JUGs) are more than just meetups - they’re gatherings where people who share a passion for Joomla come together to exchange ideas, learn new skills, and celebrate one of the world’s most flexible CMS platforms. Every meeting is an opportunity to connect with others who understand the joy (and sometimes the challenge!) of building with Joomla.

Upcoming Hybrid Workshop: Exploring Module Overrides and Dynamic Effects in Joomla
Join us for an engaging and educational hybrid Joomla event, hosted by Laura Gordon and co-organized by the Joomla Users Group of NJ and Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. Whether you’re local or joining from afar, you can attend in person at Rutgers' College Avenue Campus in New Brunswick or participate virtually via Zoom.

It’s that time of year again! The Joomla User Group (JUG) team is excited to invite current and aspiring JUG organizers to our leadership meeting.

Whether you're running a group or considering launching one, this is your opportunity to connect, share, and learn with others from around the globe.

JDayUSA 2025, the premier annual Joomla! Conference in the USA returns this April 2025, to Washington, DC.  JDayUSA brings together visionaries, Joomla enthusiasts, and leaders for a transformative exploration of the latest trends in Joomla. And no matter where you live, you can be part of it!

It is about that time of year again.  Twice a year the Joomla User Group team meets with anyone that is organizing their own Joomla User Group or thinking of organizing one.  

Pretty much every Joomla User will reach it: the point where you feel like the only Joomler in the village and wish you knew more people working with Joomla. The wonderful news is: there are. We have Joomla User Groups all over the world, in-person and online, and you can easily join or even start one! Share your knowledge, learn fast, help solve people’s Joomla issues, and have fun!

At the Joomla Community Magazine, we love it when people write books about Joomla (and maybe even more when these people are our own team members!). In this month’s issue, Laura Gordon reviews Joomla! 4 Masterclass: A practitioner's guide to building rich and modern websites using the brand-new features of Joomla 4 by Luca Marzo.

So what do you do when the state of New Jersey is on quarantine, and 15 teens want to learn web? You teach them Joomla!
