Joomla! 2.5 - Livro do Iniciante - UFRB

Joomla! 2.5 - Livro do InicianteMy name is Hagen Graf, I'm 47 years old, and I live in Fitou 22 , France. I am married to the woman ofmy dreams and have four daughters.My work consists of many different activities such as teaching, advising, listening, testing,programming, understanding structures, developing new applications, questioning, and always tryingsomething new.Actually, my work can be done completely online but sometimes clients may have reservationsabout fully online projects, which is why I am on the road a lot. Being on the road means meeting clientsin different countries with different languages and cultures, long car, bus or train rides as well as veryshort response times to customer enquiries, Facebook messages and tweets.This way of working has implications for what I once used to call "the office".I need to be able to have access from anywhere in the world to my e-mails, pictures, videos, tweets, anddocuments. My office is located where I am.WHO ARE YOU?Of course I do not know exactly what you do, but many people whom I have worked with work in away similar to myself. Employees of larger companies however, for various reasons, often cannot or maynot work as flexibly. Your own experience with computers is probably similar to mine. Many of us startedwith an older PC and a Windows system at school or at home, and then got to know from experience theharsh reality of office applications, data loss, insufficient memory, and hard drive and printerconfiguration adventures. The wonderful relationships between these things have been changed with theuser-centred way of Web 2.0 and the use of smart phones, but this does not necessarily make it easier.If you do not love messing with passion at night with your operating system or telephone or sortingyour photos and music, and moving them all from one device to another, then you are probably just likeme - happy when your devices and applications are working, when you can access your data on theInternet and all is working smoothly. If you work from a home office, a smooth work environmentbecomes particularly important. Non-functioning soft- and hardware can quickly turn your situation intoa nightmare.I distinguish between the following types of users:• Visitors: They visit a website and they do not care much about the system you used for creating thesite.• Users: They use the website. They create content using pre-defined procedures.22 http://goo.gl/maps/3dU6Monday, 30 January 2012 Página 18
