Nooku is going Asia and will be setting up camp in Manila on the 20th of September.  Together with our friends from the Joomla and PHP communities in the Philippines, we are organizing our first Asian Nooku Code Jam.

If you are a PHP developer looking to learn how to build better Joomla extensions faster you don’t want to miss this. Nooku Framework is one of the most interesting developments in the Joomlasphere of the last year.

Not only because of the spectacular code reduction (up to 80% in some cases), but also for the many features that were previously unavailable to Joomla developers:

• Near-zero-code MVC
• Domain Driven Design
• Object Relational Mapping
• Out of the box security features
• Extensibility through CoC, DI, …

And not to forget extreme re-usability: already a number of extensions are being built that can be plugged right into your own, such as user, trash and taxonomy (tagging and categories) management.

The Code Jam will take place on the 20th of September at the University of the Philippines from 8:30 until 17:00. To help us cover our cost we ask a small registration fee : 500 PHP for professionals and 250 PHP for students. We have only 45 seats available, so register fast!

We are pleased to announce the release of Nooku Content version 0.6.8. This version is a maintenance release that addresses a regression issue introduced in the 0.6.7 release.

This release also includes the following fixes :

• Fixed redirection issues in the administrator when switching language after using the items view.
• Fixed problem when trying to delete existing or none-existing tables
• Fixed issue with custom flags not being rendered properly

We also introduced front-end user language support. When trying to determine the preferred language Nooku Content now takes the frontend language setting into account for logged in users. The new sequence is : session -> cookie -> user (only if logged in) -> browser -> primary.

Together with the release of Nooku Content 0.6.8 we are also releasing Nooku Framework 0.6.8 which includes a number of smaller fixes. Nooku Framework is available through our Nooku Developer Portal, for a direct link to the 0.6.8 SVN go here.
