Creating a simple component
From Joomla! Documentation
(Redirected from Tutorial:Components)
This tutorial is for 
only and is not recommended as it does not use the MVC paradigm. Please refer to:
- Developing a Model-View-Controller Component - Part 1 for
using the Model-View-Controller (MVC) paradigm. - Developing a Model-View-Controller (MVC) Component for Joomla!1.6 for
and later.
Introduction
Components are the main functional units that display in your template, like the content management system, contact forms, Web Links and the like. They are usually displayed in the center of the main content area of a template (depending on the template).
This tutorial serves to provide you with a number of useful examples that help you to learn how to create your components.
While we have gone to great lengths to make Joomla easy for content providers to use, we have equally spent a lot of time developing a flexible framework for developers to extend the capabilities of Joomla without having to touch the Core code.
