Better you ask things when you are ready to learn. Otherwise my time spend on searching and reading for you will become a waste. Just concentrate on your studies. I think you now realise the truth I told you before. BIT is not as easy as you think. If it is easy, there will be 1000s with BIT degrees now.

After your exams, you will have some free times while studying for next semester. Within this period, you can l;earn something you like.

Joomla, Drupal are good to learn. Those widely used. According to my knowledge, there are two markets with them. Themes and Programming. If you are not willing to chose programming side (good $$$) you will have to select theme creation type of work (less $$$). However theme creation, etc... needs some good knowledge in CSS/HTML. But you can learn those quite easily. Decision is yours ;)

Yes I Understand the Truth Now.

And First I will make Simple web sites then I think to make good ones I like Joomla Programing before that I need to finish Learning Java first.

And About Money, I only want about Rs4000 per a Month for my Things and to pay Internet bill without bothering my Parents.

When Making Simple ones I hope to copy codes from Resource web sites and add them to my Site ;) can I make even a Little Good looking Web by doing that ? :)

Nipuna, clearly understand my advise. You are a talented boy and you can do anything you want. There is no doubt.
But you have only few days for the exams. I told you the importance of having a 1st class (or at least a 2nd upper class) in an external or private degree. Since you have to compete with local government university students who are already given highest priority, you need to have good results to face an interview. If you don't listen to me, you will definitely agree wit me at the end of exams and tell me "you are correct, I would have listened". I'm only talking the things I know. Never expect easy exams in Sri Lankan government university. This is where they maintain a high standard in education and knowledge. So put your 100% on this. It is easy to get a C, bit hard to get a B and very hard to get a A. I know this by facing 4 years of exams ;)

Okay, we can begin some good topics about Joomla soon after your exams. I'll give you my fullest support. Great support members such as Herath, Saman, Rksk, Mysoogal, etc... will also join. If I think about Expertcore, I would encourage you to put more posts here. But my type and ROBOT.LK's vision is different.

Out of topic. But I'm doing my noble duty for the country.

Now I have free time. :)

How about giving me an idea about this now ? :) I can learn this with Java. I like to do Joomla without learning coding. Learning 2 types of cording isn't possible, since I am learning Java and don't want to skip it as before :D

I'm not sure how to answer your question. According to my knowledge, Joomla is a CMS completely written in php. You can add templates, plug-ins without help from anyone. That's how it is made. However if you need to do a change in the core, you will obviously have to use php. So in simple terms, what you can do without leaning php coding is adding templates and plugins.

However, if you can install Joomla in a local copy and play a bit with it, I guess it will give you a good start. If you find any question when you are doing that, I'm sure you can get lots of help from Joomla site itself. They have great community support.

I already have it installed. :)

But it's bit harder than Magento. Magento is easy to work and python card is more easier. But Joomla bit hard :?
