"Mastering Joomla! 1.5 Extension and Framework Development"

The first release of Joomla! (Joomla! 1.0) was very similar to the then
current release of Mambo, the majority of extensions at the time being compatible
with both.
Restraints within Joomla! 1.0 led to a complete re-think of how Joomla! should be
constructed. After a long development period, and two beta releases, Joomla! 1.5 was
released in mid 2007.
Joomla! 1.5 is extensively different to Joomla! 1.0 and Mambo. Joomla! 1.5 introduces
many new classes and implements a comprehensive framework. These changes have
lead to reduced compatibility between Joomla! and Mambo.
The most notable change, for most third-party extension developers, is the
introduction of the MVC (Model View Controller) design pattern in components.
These changes now mean that all third-party developers tend to develop for Joomla!
or Mambo, but not both.
