5. It provides useful reference material that
explains many of the advanced design features and classes available in Joomla! 1.5.
Joomla! is one of the world's top open-source content management systems. The
main sources of the PHP MySQL application's success are its comprehensive
extension libraries, which extend Joomla! far beyond content management, and its
very active forums where one can easily tap into the knowledge of other Joomla!
users, administrators, and developers.
The architecture of the latest version of Joomla! differs in many ways from previous
versions. Resultantly backward-compatibility with some extensions has been broken;
the race is on for developers to update their skills in order to rectify the problems
and start building new extensions. Perhaps the most important of the changes is the
reorganization and classification of files and classes. This change encourages but does
not force developers to use the Joomla! libraries consistently between extensions.
