JandBeyond - around the joomla! world in 72 hours - may 30th to june 1st, wiesbaden, germany

Joomla 1.6 includes a completely remodelled access control system.  This system operates at several levels allowing to emulate both simple and complex strategies for both viewing content and managing the permissions to perform various actions.  Andrew Eddie, co-developer of the access control subsystem, will walk you through the different capabilities of the new system and look at strategies to achieve various results.  This session will look at the changes to the user management system (new groups and access levels) that support the access control system, the new core premissions, how the core permissions operate at different levels (globally, in components, in categories and in articles) and how ininheritance works.  This session is important for people that want to take a Joomla 1.6 site beyond the simple but limited access controls currently found in Joomla 1.5.

Please note that this session will be conducted remotely via video from Australia.

Joomla, and Mambo before it, have always included new and exciting features for developers in every major release and Joomla 1.6 is no exception.  Joomla 1.5 brought you a flexibale and extensible framework on which to build powerful extensions.  Now, with the aid of significant community contributions, Joomla 1.6 carries the tradition of adding power and performance to your extensions.

Andrew Eddie, co-developer of many of the new Joomla 1.6 sub-systems, will present and in-depth walkthrough of the new API that will be available to developers.  This will include looking at the design of the access control and category management systems, and how easy it is to integrate extensions with them.  The new form API will give designers incredible freedom with not only their own edit screen, but also allows you to modify those of any other extension.  Andrew will also look at the new consistency of the entire source tree and, in particular, new features available in the MVC architecture to take the hard work out of extension design.  Improvements to the Joomla installer have also been made that will literally blow you away.

This session is a must-see for any budding or experienced Joomla developer.  Please note that this session will be conducted remotely via video from Australia.
