Joomla!, one of the world's hottest open-source content management systems, allows you to develop your own extensions. You might be interested in developing these Joomla! extensions, developed according the MVC model and perfectly integrated within you Joomla! site. Then, the book Learning Joomla! 1.5 Extension Development, written by Joseph L. LeBlanc, would be an excellent choice for you to read. This book learns you to create Joomla! 1.5 extensions with PHP, using the available Joomla! libraries which are used as well by the core extensions. Before starting to read the book, it's necessary that you already have some general Joomla! knowledge. The basics of PHP are very useful to know as well. Throughout the book the development of one package of extensions is built and explained. This is a reviewing system for restaurants, including commenting system, content and search plugins and a module. These can be downloaded – together with all other code examples discussed throughout the book – at the site of Packt Publishing after you bought the book. |

Joomla! is one of the most powerful open source content management systems for building websites. This has recently been proved at the Pact Publishing CMS Awards '08. Joomla! ended up at the second place of both the Overall Open Source CMS award and the Best PHP Based Open Source CMS award. While setting up your own Joomla! site, it's good to think about its security. Joomla! itself is rather save, but you can always be hacked. This is mainly the reason of mis-configurations, vulnerable 3rd party extensions and weak passwords. To help you securing your Joomla! site, reading the book Joomla! Web Security is a good start. This book, written by Tom Canavan, has 248 pages and has been published in October 2008. The book covers both Joomla! 1.0.x and 1.5.x. In this review you can read more about it. |
