More than just a name, Joomla! is the CMS formerly known as Mambo, which continues to be a powerful and actively supported open source project. Let Joomla! core developer (and NYPHP stalwart) Mitch Pirtle introduce you to the new features and capabilities introduced in this release, which includes a complete refactoring of the core systems. Joomla! has evolved into a rich framework that facilitates rapid, featureful development with a flexible and powerful API suited specifically for third party developers. Learn about how the new system was designed, by both hearing anecdotes and seeing examples provided by Mitch as he shows us the new API. He will walk us through implementations of third party applications that provide case studies on how to develop to the new API, providing examples of developers leveraging the latest features and additions to the core. Thanks to IBM for providing a great presentation space with seating for plenty. As a service to our community, New York PHP meetings are always free and open to the public.

Would you like to present, or know someone who would? Let us know: http://www.nyphp.org/presentations.php We also have a new training schedule for the Fall. See: http://www.nyphp.com/training/ -- NYPHPCon's 2006 Gallery, Presentations, and Reviews are Online http://www.nyphpcon.com Thanks to Michael DeWitt for creating the gallery. Have content - like pictures or reviews - that you'd like to add? Let us know: http://www.nyphp.com/contact.php -- Our friends at NYCBUG (http://www.nycbug.org) are working on their own conference, and their call for papers is open. They have a lot of interesting topics covered, so consider submitting or attending. See http://www.nycbsdcon.org/cfp or view the announcement at the bottom of this email. -- Community Project - Andromeda Framework Kenneth Downs recently announced the availability of Andromeda, a GPL'd database-centric PHP framework. Kenneth write: "This framework is heavily centered on database applications, and makes large use of a data dictionary to drive most (sometimes all) of the functionality. It stresses not so much the management of code as the elimination of code wherever possible."
