Joomla 1.5 Tutorial Guides

[Chris Davenport]

We have these official tutorials for Joomla! 1.5:

Component tutorials

Database tutorial (the beginnings of)
http://dev.joomla.org/component/option,com_jd-wiki/Itemid,/id,framework:database_part1/

We're also starting an initiative to write a new 1.5 template tutorial: http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,198845.0.html

The Doc Team is keen to follow the progress of this group so we can see the kind of problems you encounter and use that information to add to and improve the documentation for 1.5.  You've already noticed it's thin on the ground and it may even contain errors due to the pace at which 1.5 was developing.

If anyone wants to write up some snippets of documentation as you go then please feel free.  You can submit them here: http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/board,287.0.html.  They don't need to be finished products as we'll provide the necessary editorial polish.

Have fun!
Chris.
