What's a content management system (CMS)?

A content management system is software that keeps track of every piece of content on your website, much like your local public library keeps track of books and stores them. Content can be simple text, photos, music, video, documents, or just about anything you can think of. A major advantage of using a CMS is that it requires almost no technical skill or knowledge to manage. A CMS manages all your website's content, which means you don't have to.

Many aspects, including its ease-of-use and extensibility, has made Joomla the most popular website software available.

What is a Component and/or Plugin you keep refering about?

A Component is an additional installation that extends Joomla's core functionality, from Calendars to Image Galleries these extensions can increase the overall functionality of your website.

A Plugin is also an additional installation, but these are limited to extending the core functionality of the componenets that make up Joomla. Examples of plugins include creating a Video page or having a side module position with weblinks, mini event lists, calendars and menu systems.
