This unit looks at a useful back-end "Hello World" component example demonstrating the Model-View-Controller (MVC) paradigm and how it applies to developing Joomla 1.7 components. At the end of this module we have a working MVC administrator component that displays a text message. It is also configured to honour the most basic component level access controls in Joomla 1.7.  The lessons are structured to walk you through not only the code in Joomla 1.7, but also the theory behind why things are done and why they work.  You will use the Eclipse snippets provided in these lessons time and time again when building sophisticated components for Joomla 1.7.

This unit includes 175 minutes of video teaching in high quality HD 720P format (up to lesson 2.21) and 1024x768 (lesson 2.22 on) to suit the iPad.
