22. The real problem is extensibility

23. f ramework
• Rapid Application Development platform, similar
concepts as CakePHP, Ruby on Rails, Symphony, Zend
• Sits alongside the Joomla Framework, installs as a
plugin
• Extensions built on Nooku get code reusability and
extensibility out of the box
Architecture First!

24. Nooku Framework dramatically
reduces the amount of code in an extension
Benefits:
Shorter development time
Less bugs
Less security vulnerabilities
Easier to understand, easier to extend
