+ Basic introduction
Joomla! Component Builder (hereafter known as JCB) was built for those who know the PHP programming language. If you don't know PHP, there are some great places to learn it. One of the few I would recommend is [Lynda.com] (https://www.lynda.com/) and you can go to the website and search for PHP. You will find many courses that should get you on your way. If you don't know CSS, JavaScript, and HTML then you definitely need to go visit this website and ones similar to it and get that knowledge. JCB was not created for those who have no development skills.

I developed JCB for myself as a Joomla! Component developer to easily and quickly get the bulk of the code common to most Joomla! Components so I could focus on the custom code which goes beyond the norm. If you don't have an understanding of the Joomla! API, you will be at a disadvantage. It's not that difficult to get this knowledge, but you do need to be able to read PHP and build a Joomla! web site. Understanding the Joomla API requires an understanding of Object Oriented Programming (OOP) and the classes, methods and properties in the Joomla! core. A good way to do this is to build a Joomla! web site without any installed extensions. Then, look at its directory, folders and files. Become familiar with the many models, views and controllers (MVC) within the directory structure.
