I managed to have a quick chat with Johan Janssens, co-founder and principal architect of Joomla! 1.5, after presenting his first talk about
Joomla!, in Barcelona today.
Albeit a brief chat, it seems the sessions are going really well and the community in Spain is quite strong. A funny aside, there were a few 'nervous' individuals in the audience, no doubt wondering what Johan might say about the current state of play.
You can see the thrust of his first presentation below. If you read the slides closely, you will notice
the quote I derived from a pub only last night has already travelled the globe!!!
Later he will be presenting about the Nooku Framework project and the various magical innovations coming soon to the Joomlasphere.
Ever the intrepid traveller, Johan, he sends his best wishes to everyone here and hopes we are keeping our spirits up during some challenging times.
He says Buena Suerte to all :)
Addendum:
Since the initial post, Johan has conducted his
Nooku Framework presentation. By all accounts this was quite a hit with loads of developers keen to get involved with the Nooku way of doing things — coding intelligence, coding efficiency, coding speed in a fun and friendly supportive dev environment.
Essentially, make more of your time with a more-powerful friend — Nooku.
Johan's most powerful example was through
Ninjaboard, developed by Daniel Chapman and his crew. There were plenty of oohs and ahs, when Johan demonstrated an 80% reduction in code in the Ninjaboard refactoring using Nooku Framework.
Then Johan touched on how Nooku tightens up security due to it requiring less code to achieve the same end through reusability and inherent usability. "Write less code to lower the risk of vulnerabilities," Johan said. Provide advanced automatic security features out of the box."

Disclaimer: I am a member of the Nooku team and proudly supportive of it as the most powerful alley that Joomla 1.5 has, so apart from my love of Joomla my Nooku bias is no doubt evident here. Look forward to a next generation of more powerful, elegant software by those developers who adopt Nooku as the framework of choice. As Rastin Mehr says: "It really is the MVC Joomla's always needed."
