Develop Joomla! 1.5 Extensions: Packt's New Book

Learning Joomla! 1.5 Extension Development is a new book from Packt that helps users to program their own Joomla! extensions. Written by Joseph LeBlanc, and tested against the final release of Joomla! 1.5, this book helps create extensions with PHP using built-in HTML and JavaScript functions.

Joomla! is the world's hottest open-source content management system, packed with various features. Its greatest quality is that it is extremely extensible, allowing any number of complex applications to be cleanly integrated.

This book will help users understand the Model-View-Controller design pattern used in components. Using HTML functions, programmers will be able to maintain a consistent look and reduce repetitive code. They will be able to manage customized Google Maps using the MooTools JavaScript framework. They will also be able to create toolbars, list screens with pagination, and menu items.

Written for Joomla! version 1.5 and tested against the final release, this book will teach users to create their first extensions using PHP code, and add features that will make their work look professional! This book is the most up-to-date introduction available for creating Joomla! extensions.

PHP programmers interested in customizing and extending the features of Joomla! through custom PHP development will find this book useful. This book is out now and is available from Packt. For more information, please visit: Learning Joomla! 1.5 Extension Development
