Introduction to Joomla!
[ 16 ]
Summary
One of the most pleasurable things about working with Joomla! is the
encouragement of openness and friendliness amongst the members of the Joomla!
community. It is, without a doubt, the community that is driving the Joomla!
project. The name ???Joomla!??™ is derived from the Swahili word ???Jumla??™, meaning ???all
together??™. The Joomla! community lend a true sense of jumla to the project.
In this chapter we have seen that there are essentially six types of extension:
components, modules, plugins, languages, templates, and tools. As we have
seen, each type has a very specific use. We have lightly discussed the way in which
extensions of different types can be dependant upon one another.
Whilst we did not dwell on development tools, we have investigated the two most
prominent tools, J!Code and J!Dump. Even experienced PHP developers should
investigate other/new development tools.
