Life Saving Joomla

Hello everybody !!! This article is dedicated to joomla. I am a beginner to web-development as a whole and i wanted to build a site for MBA aspirants all over the world. Initially i was planning to do it using PHP and asked a lot of people for the cost for building such a site. Well I had a lot of features in my mind so when i approached with these requirements, well you guessed it right the cost was enormous. So one of my friend suggested JOOMLA and i started learning it. Before i started learning JOOMLA i did not even know what is HTML or CSS.
Vast pool of joomla components and modules i have a build achieved my dream and it is still being modified. Now my site has Forum, Polls, Event calender, News letter.
