If you're a PHP programmer eager to create extensions for Joomla!, this
book is for you. Written for Joomla! 1.5, it gets you coding your first
extensions as quickly as possible, and adds features that will make your
work look professional! The world's hottest open-source content
management system, Joomla! won the 2006 Open Source CMS Prize. Already
feature packed, it is also extremely extensible, allowing multiple
complex applications to be cleanly integrated, inheriting the look and
feel of one Joomla! site, with only one database, template, and core to
maintain. This practical tutorial is based around the development of
example extensions to create, find, promote, and cross-link restaurant
reviews. Each chapter is a step-by-step walkthrough, covering modules,
components, and plugins as well as configuration and packaging for
distribution. Readers need basic PHP skills and familiarity with the
general operation of Joomla! but do not need experience of developing
Joomla! extensions.
