Look Ma, no code! Generating Joomla! components using JoomGen
It's not hard to write a Joomla! component, but you have to write a good deal of boilerplate code; besides, CRUD (Create / Read / Update / Destroy) operations in the backend are usually similar, regardless of the model.
JoomGen is a code generator that, given an YAML or UML file, generates all the basic folders and files you need for a component, and code (Models, Views, Controllers and Tables) for CRUD operations. The generated code follows the PEAR coding conventions and several Joomla! "best practices".
In this talk we will show you why you should use JoomGen, how to use it, how it works and how you can contribute.
