2. the first thing that was asked of me was to read a Joomla! guide book.. it was like a thick 500++ pages college textbook.. i read the first few pages and started google-ing right after..

3. i was also asked to download Joomla! onto my localhost..

4. i already have my own copy of phpTriad but it's like a couple years old now so i decided to look for a newer version of the three triads needed to run Joomla..

5. apache + php + mySql
