The Joomladays NL are coming!
It’s almost time for the Joomla highlight of the year, the Dutch Joomladays! This year they are taking place on the 2th and 3th of April at Kaapdoorn, near Utrecht.
The Joomladay in the Netherlands is the oldest and one of the most popular Joomla events in Europe: two days, hundreds of attendees, and lots of parallel sessions. Traditionally it has a great mix of newbies, organizations, and community members, which is the perfect recipe for inspiring discoveries.
We’re proud to announce that Nooku is once again sponsoring the Dutch Joomladays. Buckle up for a great ride because this year as we are not doing one but three presentations. So what are we talking about?
Nooku Framework’s 3rd Birthday!
Just over three years ago, on 12 February 2008, we made the first commit to our beloved Nooku Framework. Today, Nooku Framework drastically speeds up the creation and maintenance of Joomla extensions while eliminating repetitive coding and adding power, flexibility and fun. Finally, you can focus on what matters most: your extension’s business logic and user experience.
Definition: “to nookify” (verb) : Collaborating to make code reusable, flexible and magical. Often leads to reduction of 60-80% in code.
Introducing Nooku Platform
On the 4th of February 2011, we attended the first ever Joomlanight in Stockholm, Sweden. The topic of this event was “Joomla: At The Edge Of Innovation” and hosted three talks:
- “The Road Ahead for Joomla!” by Ryan Ozimek
- “Molajo Joomla! 1.6 Distribution” by Marco Barbosa
- “Nooku – Evolving and Innovating Joomla!” by our own Johan Janssens
Johan introduced the Nooku Platform, vision, strategy and roadmap:
- Nooku Framework, rapid extension development framework
- Nooku Server, multi-site and multi-lingual distribution of Joomla
- Nooku Community, innovative and open source community
The event was broadcasted live on the inter-tubes, thanks to Martin Blodau. If you missed it, sit back and enjoy Johan’s talk. We also made the presentation available here.

The jam, perfectly organized by Nooku community member Herman Peeren, was completely focused on Nooku Framework. Nooku is hot! This was once again demonstrated by the speed at which registrations for the event came in! For some people it was their first encounter with Nooku Framework, for others it was a great way to finally meet fellow Nooku community members face to face.
In the morning lead architect Johan Janssens gave a general introduction of the Nooku Framework. Johan explained how the framework was born, how development is done and how the community is getting involved. He also explained the vision for the future and not to forget what benefits Nooku brings to Joomla extension development.
