If you have a good knowledge of the Joomla! API You will know it can build forms you can use in a component and it's done using an XML file. Joomla! Component Bolder builds the XML file and places it in a location a model, view and controller can access it from using the Joomla! API. JCB builds the fields which you define would use in a view using a view containing fields displayed by the component. These and other terms will be defined as we proceed. Let's start start with what is known as field types.

There is always a field type needed if you are building a field. Use of field types can be seen when you create a Joomla! article. When you do the first thing you see is called a view. Scroll down a bit and you'll see a URL displaying the view View = article and it's called an article view. If you close this article view you'll see a list of articles created in the web site. You won't see any articles here if it's a blank website. The list of articles is also called a view. If you click on an row in the list you will see the edit or single view. Your components will usually have these two views in the admin area to list and edit your different data sets. Let's take a look at the views and the fields they display.
