Getting Down in Cape Town: Joomla!Day South Africa

Mon, 03 Oct 2011

On the 19th and 20th of August, the Joomla! community in South Africa (including guests from seven countries) came together in Cape Town, to share their experience, and to learn from each other.

The venue for the event was conveniently located at the Pavilion Conference Centre, at the edge of the V&A Waterfront. One of the important factors in deciding on a venue, was the safe environment, and close proximity to a number of “watering holes”. (Joomla!Day attendees are known to get very thirsty!)

pavillion-boardroom There's been quite a bit of discussion during the past few months about the Joomla!® Platform project. It's the framework on top of which the Joomla! CMS operates. Think of it like the operating system for Joomla, and the CMS as a sort of application that runs on it.

What's most interesting about the Joomla Platform is the ability for developers to create applications that can power the next generation of Web services...outside of the Joomla CMS.

It gives developers the opportunity to build command line interface (CLI) apps, daemons (think of "always on" server apps), and many more cool functionalities.

During Joomla!Day Chicago, a room of 9 people came together to write some of the first example Joomla Platform apps.

Now, for Joomla!Day South Africa in Cape Town, we plan to do it again!
