The 2012 J and Beyond J!OSCAR short list was announced today, and we're happy to announce that we have 3 sites on the list! In the Non-Corporate Web Sites category, we built 2 of the 5 sites in the list, and our own website, CoryWebbMedia.com, is on the short list for mobile web sites.

JoomlaStory.com is a place for you to tell the story of how you first got involved in the Joomla community, how you continue to be involved, and how Joomla has impacted your life. It all started as I was thinking over the years I have worked with Joomla and been a part of the community, and I realized just how much Joomla has changed my life. I believe there are thousands of people out there with stories similar to mine, and I wanted to provide a place for those stories to be shared.

If you use Joomla and you have a story to tell about it, head over to JoomlaStory.com and share your story.

Once upon a time, JavaScript was poorly regarded. The mention of JavaScript threw chills down the spine of any developer. JavaScript was only written when absolutely, vitally necessary. And even then, the author would write it with a pinched nose, doing the bare minimum to get things working. Cross-browser compatibility was possible for only the most trivial of tasks, while debugging tools were crude at best.

JavaScript today is a different story. Developers are not just writing JavaScript because they need to, but because they want to. It is no longer confined to the web browser; you can use JavaScript for your entire web application stack.

If you haven't heard about J and Beyond, then you are in for a treat. Coming back for the 3rd year, it is the largest international Joomla event that the community has seen so far.
