[...] I’m not saying we should pack Joomla with cool new extensions, just that we need to make it easier to create cool extensions. And that’s where frameworks come in handy. [...]

I took down my HMVC post as I realized it was too unfinished and other concepts needed explaining first before I could dive into HMVC. Next article will be about the object factories JFactory and KFactory. After that I might take a stab at HMVC too, and perhaps write it in a less complicated way than what I did earlier.

As @christianhent recommended on Twitter, I suggest you look at the example component com_harbour, which you can find on http://nooku.assembla.com. It's a sort of advanced hello world component.

Thank you very much Torkil,

I read your post about HMVC (which is not online anymore) and for me it was quite hard to understand all the concepts. When you talk about domain separation at first I though it would have anything about domain name but I then remembered that I read something about domain and if I'm not wrong domain in this case would be "controllers" but I'm not even sure :)

I've been searching for good tutorials for newbies but quite hard to find one, I started with your article on installing Nooku Framework with the symlinker: http://blog.bedre.no/nooku/tutorials/installing...
and it seems to be linked properly, I then when through these two tutorials:
http://www.alltogetherasawhole.org/profiles/blo...
http://www.alltogetherasawhole.org/profiles/blo...
With these two tutorials I get confused because I don't know where I should create my files.

I guess I'll try to start with Joomla Framework and then switch over Nooku Framework.

Thank you for your help and keep with the nice posts :)
and Thank you for writing a new post explaining MVC for newbies :) very appreciated

I recently wrote a blog post on HMVC. I think I'm going to rewrite that a bit to explain the concepts of MVC and HMVC a bit better and make it easier for people without knowledge about these patterns to understand.

We all started somewhere. With all the time that others put in to help me, I feel that I should do the same. When you get up to a certain level of knowledge, you'll do the same to other newbies, and so the story goes… ;)

Thank you very very much Torkil :)
I really appreciate the time you put to answer and the precious information you gave me.

I will definitely take a look at what you gave me and will study the MVC model to get started with Nooku Framework.

I understand why Nooku Framework is growing so fast, with people like you engaged on it, it's very easy for newbies, like me, to get started and get help.

Once again, many thanks to your time :)
