+ Nooku Framework




Why a new framework ?

• takes too much time

• too much repeated tasks

• resulting extensions are inflexible

• PHP4

1. Developing for Joomla 1.5 :

2. Existing frameworks don’t integrate easily with Joomla

7

• allow you to build an application

• Joomla is an ecosystem of applications

http:///www.nooku.org




• Use existing Design PatternDon’t reinvent the wheel - just make it roll smoother

• Make all code reusableDon’t repeat yourself - and don’t repeat anyone else either

• Extreme flexibility Every object, and every part of the code must be extensible and replaceable.

Ability to hook into any controller, database or application action

• An API is like a User InterfaceLearn once, apply everywhereKISS : keep it sexy and simple

• Convention over configuration

• Scaffolding is a fancy word for automated copy/paste

House Rules !





Write less code !

11

Leaves more time to focus on business logic

and user experience





How it should be ...class WeblinksControllerWeblinks extends KControllerForm{

// no code needed}

class WeblinksModelWeblinks extends KModelTable{

// no code needed}

class WeblinksViewWeblinks extends KViewHtml{

// no code needed}

That’s all you need for a working MVC extension!

Security!

IBM says Joomla is insecure





“The high rank is due to third party apps developed for Joomla and not due to vulnerabilities in Joomla itself.”

Elin Waring - President Opensourcematters, Inc.

OSM says : Not our fault !

“Write less code to lower the risk of vulnerabilities.Provide advanced automatic security features out

of the box.”


Nooku Framework says :






Reusability!

• Extensions focus on features

• Extensions are not reusable

• Extensions are not flexible


Problem ?




Nooku Framework helps you build extensible, reusable code

... even if you don’t know what you are doing!


Solution !




Don’t code, specialize!





KModel

KView KController

State

Query

View Selection

State

Change

Static MVC


Joomla 1.5 only




KModel

KView KController

State

KDatabase

KDispatcher

KTable

Dynamic MVC

22

All of this happens behind the scenes, without writing

any code.

Your task is specializing it: writing only the specifics

that deviate from the default behavior.
