Joomla

I did not see a section on Joomla so I'm posting here, sorry if it's the wrong place.

** looks around for the coffee pot **

I just started working with Joomla. I'm stumbling and struggling to learn the basics and still having difficulty.
I'm having to learn it because of a website I may need to manage is running with Joomla.
I was hoping to find an easy primer to learn the basics rather quickly. I haven't found one.
Any one here have experience with Joomla?

Well, the Joomla! website has lots of documentation, including a Wiki for learning docs. If you're just starting with Joomla! I would recommend learning to style a Joomla! template before anything else. Copy & paste the default template (beez_20) and rename it to beez_20_backup.

Now you can play around with the default template while retaining a backup. The files you'll want to manipulate are:

1. Layout.css
2. Personal.css
3. Position.css

If you want to start delving into PHP development, once you're comfortable with the back-end (administration) and styling, take a look in the components->com_content folder and start playing with the sub-directories. This is your article data.
