You will also find out how to extend your contents with Custom Fields, go multilingual, and set up your custom Workflows. The third part of the book is dedicated to customization of the website, introducing templates, child templates and overrides, that will allow you to make your site unique. The last part of the book will show you four different case studies including an online learning system, B&B booking system, and corporate and editorial websites to see how Joomla has been used in real life to achieve a specific goal for your clients.
