Product Description
As a major force in the world of affordable, advanced web site deployment, Joomla! has become the most important noncommercial Content Management System (CMS) in the world. The number of Joomla! downloads and add–ons continues to grow at lightning pace, spurring the need for a resource that explores the diverse needs of professional Joomla! developers. This book fills that void by covering the two main areas of the Joomla! field––development and deployment––with a focus on the new Joomla! version 1.5 and all the features it provides.

Seasoned author Dan Rahmel walks you through the process of creating all three types of Joomla! extensions (modules, components, and plug–ins), explains how best to use Ajax technology, and shows you how to adopt design patterns and incorporate source code control. You′ll examine the underlying technologies (PHP, Apache, etc.) that can be tuned to offer the best system performance, and you′ll explore interfacing with outside content, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) setup, and much more. You′ll even delve into the internal structure of the Joomla! framework, and obtain a unique behind–the–scenes education so that you can modify and extend Joomla! to meet the needs of you and your customers.

What you will learn from this book

∗ How each server of a Joomla! system can be installed and configured for maximum performance
∗

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   7 of 7 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars The best book on Joomla! I've read yet, 18 May 2008 By  Mr. Kenneth Bearman "zakala" (Birmingham, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    This really is a definitive guide to the nitty gritty of Joomla! It isn't a beginners guide (unless you're a beginner to Joomla! with good PHP and MySQL skills), but is does cover pretty much everything you'll ever need to know from installation through to template creation and module, plugin and component creation. Definitely the book to graduate too if you've grown beyond the Beginning Joomla! titles. My only criticisms are that the book is too short - many chapters leave you wanting more examples or ideas to develop - and that it really only covers Joomla! 1.5, somewhat understandably, and only tips a hat to those still managing 1.0 deployments. If you want a primer for the programming side of Joomla! or are just looking for more in depth information can't recommend this book highly enough. If you want a beginners guide to Joomla! this probably shouldn't be the first Joomla! book you buy. It should, however, be the second. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

I anticipated a steep learning curve, but this book is well written for experienced developers and I was up to speed in a few days. Unfortunately I now need to find a much more informative technical manual for the next step in development. After you get under the hood (first 6 chapters) there is not much left as it tends towards a generic web development manual. It could do with more practical examples on using MVC design pattern & Ajax. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
