<h2>Joomla 3.0 brand new features unleashed</h2>
<p>The new version 3.0 will provide the new markup and UI,  based on the Bootstrap HTML/CSS/JS framework from Twitter. These changes will  create a great overall User Experience for Joomla site administrators, thereby  giving site users the same. Also, beside Mootools, jQuery will be included to  Joomla 3.0, give developers more strength to create friendlier back-end user  interface. Many new features are implemented which provides a impressive  improvement versus current 2.5 version. I will introduce some main new features  as follow:</p>
<h3>Joomla 3.0 – New installer</h3>
<p>Using the words “Short and simpleâ€ to describe about Joomla  3.0 installation process is truly right, since there are only 3 steps to  install a Joomla 3.0 package. </p>

<h3>Twitter Bootstrap</h3>
<p><a href="http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/" target="_blank">Bootstrap</a> is a  free collection of tools for creating websites and applications. It contains simple  and flexible HTML, JavaScript and CSS-based design templates for typography,  forms, buttons, charts, navigation and other interface components. </p>

<p>Also, <a href="http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/" target="_blank">Bootstrap</a> provides the basic common CSS for developers. They can use common user  interface elements like buttons, layouts, alert messages, modal boxes, dropdown  menus, tooltips, icons, tables, form elements and more from Bootstrap  framework. </p>
<h3>Great User Experience</h3>
<p>The Joomla 3.0 is known as friendly User Experience (UX)  since it is based on Bootstrap. That means the template and extension  developers can  build the products which  base on the same set of markup standards or consistent markup. You know, controlling  your website would be much easier when all extensions look and work in a  unified fashion. So you don’t have to get to be familiar with new interface on  each extension.</p>
<h3>Mobile  Responsive Design</h3>
<p><strong>You might know the “responsiveâ€ feature from some Joomla templates. Now,  it is included in Joomla 3.0, too. With the <a href="http://www.joomlashine.com/joomla-templates/jsn-gruve-joomla-template-details.html" target="_blank">responsive design</a></strong>,  you can control your Joomla site with mobile devices with ease. A responsive  site will resize to the screen it is presented on any browsers or devices.  Moreover, since it is responsive, it  presented beautifully on mobile not only front-end, but also the back-end. This  helps users manage the administrator easily on the mobile. For example, all the  lists are put in one page that makes it more simply to control.  </p>
<h3>Drag and Drop*</h3>
<p>The drag and drop feature is applied to make the item  management more easily. All the old arrows on the ordering column have been  removed, now you can drag-and-drop item freely in its categories to change the  ordering of item list. </p>
<p>To use Drag & Drop feature, you must click on the 1st combo  box at top right of table list, choose Ordering for “Sort table byâ€. Now you  can see the “dragâ€ icon at top right column of each item, move over to drag  item and drop on position that you want.</p>
