I was supposed to blog about this event last week around Wednesday or Tuesday, but I simply didn’t get the time. We were so busy working on the client projects, that it was difficult to allocate free blogging time.

We had around 20 people attending this event at the Network Hub last Tuesday. For this session we managed to construct a simple website for an imaginary Dance and Modeling school (The Broadway School of Dance & Modeling) using the Joomla! CMS version 1.5. We also showed how Joomla! CMS could easily integrate with the other major social media services such as Flickr, YouTube, Google Calendar, and Eventbrite. The idea was to show people how to utilize the power of those great hosted solutions within their Joomla powered websites without having to do any crazy php software development.

We have been receiving emails on a daily basis regarding the release date of Anahita project.

The reality is that we can deploy it as a part of a commercial social networking project right now, but the packaged GPL version will take a bit longer. We would like to roll it out within the next 6 months or much earlier if possible. I wish I could give you an exact date, but we don’t want to spread  rumors. I think as it is there are enough words circulating around in the community.

The technology will be available for sure, because it is one of our core products. 😉

One of the great features about the Ruby on Rails Model View Controller (MVC) architecture is the concept of generators which can quickly create the mvc layers.

The Joomla! 1.5 framework is now using an MVC by choice architectre, however the generators are still missing. Joomla! 1.5 is no-longer just a Content Management System, it is a great framework for building all kinds of web applications with a CMS edge.

My friend and business associate Arash from PeerGlobe technology has written an awesome tutorial to help you Build Joomla! MVCs the Ruby on Rails Style.
