Few Insights on Joomla 3

Last year, Joomla 3.0.0 version was released alongside significant updates and major developments with immediate upgrade version of Joomla 3.0.1 for asylum. The former being the hotspot, I recommend familiarity in this platform and there are few things worth taking notes. Let’s have a look at their features.
Joomla is now officially responsive in handheld devices with the help of Bootstrap.  The big word for Joomla 3.0 is Bootstrap. With basic CSS already integrated into Joomla 3.0, it is aiming for a much better UX for the end-user. Generally, the responsive built-in feature is seen in front-end but now the back-end also inherits this tweak. This helps you “Go Mobile” and be able to get your site under control even when you are out of work.
LESS is a dynamic style sheet language that has been recently integrated into Joomla 3.0. With LESS, the development of a template has significantly changed.  The coming of LESS directory and template.less files in every Joomla website template and backend are meant for importing both Bootstrap and JUI. That enables the template designers to define which file should be applied to their template, and which one will be imported to the LESS JUI.
A set of tools are available in the Joomla User Interface (JUI) library that enable opensource developers to share a common ground of elements to minimize coding time, without having to innovate and creating a clean nice looking interface own library. Also, with preloaded javascript and CSS files, the loading time is dropped dramatically for users who are surfing around from one Joomla 3.0 site to another adding an extra fast loading speed for the Joomla Content Management.
Surprisingly, Joomla 3.0 has come up with this new feature of creating and even save blank articles amidst administrative users. This in turn strives for support users to create articles with pictures alone and no text content as needed.
