This book has a "wealth" of solutions for problems that Joomla! developers face regularly. It provides step-by-step mini examples, which show how to overcome common design and implementation problems when creating Joomla! extensions. It will help you set up a sustainable collaborative development environment using the powerful free services offered by JoomlaCode.org.

This book can be used in different ways. It can be used by the pro Joomla! developer looking for a specific solution to a problem, and can also be used by a novice developer looking for an insight into an area of common problems, such as effectively handling errors in Joomla!. Readers who choose to read an entire chapter will first be given a brief overview of the topic in hand, and its role and importance when developing for Joomla!. The recipes contained within the chapters will introduce the reader to specific problems and provide hands-on solutions. It provides solutions for core design topics, including security, data access, users, sessions, and multilingual capabilities.
