Sandbox

Hi,

I'd lke to point you to this (old but good) web site which explains basically all the many "design patterns" that you run into when deveoping with the Joomla! 1.5 Framework.

http://www.phppatterns.com/docs/?idx=design

I suggest to disable "page colors" if your browser supports it (i.e. using the WebDeveloper Extension for Firefox) as the color schema is .. well ... you decide.

Have fun,

it is, i think, a little bit way off tangent for 101. but i'm sure some more advanced developers would find it useful.

Although some design patterns are complex, others are not.

Joomla! 1.5 uses many design patterns and knowing some of them can be very helpful for the developer.

I just wrote about the Observer Pattern, implemented by JObserver and JObservable classes in the Joomla Framework, and it may be a debut in design patterns for begginers here.

See http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,203240.0.html

another good document explaining the MVC architecture can be found here:
