Ramindu Sanka Deshapriya posted a blog postJNotifySMS: How I got into Joomla Development
Our 2nd Year projects at University were coming up. I had been messing around with Joomla! for a while, but hadn't done anything serious. The prospect of having to write a project proposal got me thinking: isn't there something useful I could do on Joomla?Of course, to develop something useful, I had to find a problem. In countries like Sri Lanka, people don't often check their email because they don't have the infrastructure for it, however, they do have mobile phones. Almost everyone in Sri…See More

- Hi, I'm an undergrad student at the University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. I've been using Joomla! as an end-user for about 2 years, as well as doing a bit of development. You can find my latest extension development project at http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/smssubscribe1. I worked as a mentor on the JConnekt 2.0 project for the Joomla! Student Outreach Program in 2010 along with Arunoda Susiripala. I am also currently a member of the Joomla! Bug Squad, and had the privilege in adding bug fixes towards the release of Joomla! 1.6.
