JoomEdit - The easy way to make your Joomla site extremely dynamic.
Don't know Javascript but want to make your website interactive and dynamic? No worries, just install JoomEdit! JoomEdit integrates Joomla with IxEdit, a powerful JavaScript-based interaction design tool.
Benefits
Create interactions easily without having to know Javascript or jQuery
Cross Browser Compatible: Internet Explorer 6+, Firefox 2+, Safari 3+, Opera 9+, Chrome
(The above is once the code is deployed, it's fully compatible across all modern browsers. However, Google recently abandoned Google Gears which presents some issues and thus we're moving away from Google Gears. For development, Firefox 5 is not supported, some versions of Safari aren't depending on the operating system, and Chrome is not supported. This is only for development. Once the code is deployed it will work in all browsers and visitors never need Google Gears.)

Please bear with us a for a few months. **note: this is only for development. See Cross Browser Compatibility above for compatibility from the users' perspective once code is deployed.
Gears installed to use local database via IxEdit. **note: Google Gears is not needed for the users of your website. It is only needed for the developer, but once the Javascript code is deployed it will work for everyone without Google Gears.To download Google Gears, click here

Hello I just installed exactly what you've instructed, however, I haven't seen any changes, can you give me a Demo, thanks lot for your kindness. ngobrian.cloudaccess.net Brian
Seem really cool. I really like to see how the gears work behind the scene. But, Alas I’m a total newbie. Where should I start to learn how to work with this.
I was going to take some course at Linda.com to be able to modify and interact with module, plugin, joomla. I want to be able to tweak or even make my own program inside Joomla framework.
I’m a fast learner and already fool around in all that with so,e success but I really need some direction...
My first course was probably a php, mysql course wher you learn to do a simple cms, do you think it’s a good idea. I want to stay in the Jommla framework...

JoomEdit is great for deploying Javascript and if you want to practice Javascript then yes.
However for creating extensions, you'll need mostly PHP. Give this tutorial a try:
docs.joomla.org/.../
Also, make sure you get the basics of Joomla down from the administrator side and it will make the concepts a lot easier to understand.
Kind regards,
Nick
Yep, That little create_a_module is really interesting...
Thanks !
