Learning Joomla! 1.5 Extension Development: Creating Modules, Components, and Plugins with PHP (Paperback)
A practical tutorial for creating your first Joomla! 1.5 extensions with PHP In Detail Joomla! is the world’s hottest open-source content management system, and the winner of the 2006 Open Source CMS Prize.
