If you're a PHP programmer eager to create extensions for Joomla!, this book is for you. Written for Joomla! 1.5, it gets you coding your first extensions as quickly as possible, and adds features that will make your work look professional! The world's hottest open-source content management system, Joomla! won the 2006 Open Source CMS Prize. Already feature packed, it is also extremely extensible, allowing multiple complex applications to be cleanly integrated, inheriting the look and feel of one Joomla! site, with only one database, template, and core to maintain. This practical tutorial is based around the development of example extensions to create, find, promote, and cross-link restaurant reviews. Each chapter is a step-by-step walkthrough, covering modules, components, and plugins as well as configuration and packaging for distribution. Readers need basic PHP skills and familiarity with the general operation of Joomla! but do not need experience of developing Joomla! extensions.

Clear case of capitalism at its best.

Since you can probably count the books written for Joomla on both hands, this book is the best one because its the ONLY ONE dealing on Beginners extension development, (ergo the high price and few pages). That being said, it is a good book to have in your library if you are planning on becomming a joomla developer. For those of us who are reverse engineering hackers (learn from seeing examples), this book is a must.

Excellent start

I think this book is an excellent start to learning about J!1.5 extensions development. It has real examples that are easy to follow and adapt to suit a variety of purposes.
Please note that the book is much thinner than you would think - about 170 pages cover to cover - so initally I was somewhat disappointed, but the book covers the topics you need to get started and I can still heartily recommend it!
