Sandbox

So, we are done with our JObject class review.

We have seen with details all its features: properties, methods, what each method does, how each method works, and by doing this in this single class, we get involved with Joomla!´s API very foundation. As J! developers, I think it is a must know.

When started writing this thread, I thought it would be very brief, much smaller.

This is the tip of the iceberg. There are 164 classes in the Joomla! Framework.

Where to go now?

Exception handling? (JError, JException...)

Continue exploring the Base package? (JObserver, JObservable, JNode, JTree)

I also thought to start a little thread with some comments on the API documentation, to help us joombies to "walk in the jungle".



Now, a little tip about the mistery of the atom.

Every atom is at om.

Every atom is at OM!

  The OMnipresent vibration.

Atom is at OM.

JObject class summary:

• Properties
• Methods
• Source code

We saw we can get and set properties, getPublicProperties, and also setError, getError and getErrors, and also transform toString in a standard way for every JObject descendant. And we can declare our constructors php 5 style (__construct) even in php 4 in our descendant classes.

Thanks everyone for the support! Thanks!

Now I´m writing "Getting Started - part 2 - JObserver and JObservable", classes from the same Base subpackage.

I for one can't wait to see your work!  jbruni, you are definitely a driving force in this!

Thank you!

Yallah! I could see this being very useful as it evolves! Please please please keep it up... your work for the community will bring you immeasurable karma.

Hi,

this is really one of the most important pieces of documentation for every developer new to the framework. It opened my eyes...

Thank you very much.
