@ -28,6 +28,6 @@ We will start at fields. It seems turned around. You might feel we must start at
In Joomla you can create what is known as custom fields. Component Builder makes provision for you to do so. This is what I would call an advanced field. We will look at advanced custom fields after we've looked at creating normal fields and creating actual back end views. [00:22:15](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEgwiVNj6N0&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h22m15s) Only then will you understand the implementation of this custom field since it will be linking to back end views value. It is not just linking to a bunch of values, it is linking directly to this back end views value called name, so we can't really create it until we know how this is going to look.
Building a component needs these kind of things [00:22:51](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEgwiVNj6N0&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h22m51s) to be thought through and mapped out. Some of us might not need to write it down, some of us do. You must come to Component Builder at least knowing partially what you want to achieve and what you want to build. That means you can do a lot of paper planning and do a lot of structuring of your component long before actually getting to Component Builder itself. That is what this [ tutorial was trying to illustrate. 00:23:33](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEgwiVNj6N0&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h23m33s) If you haven't done this, you might get lost and not know where you are heading when you start mapping the fields, the views, and the things in Component Builder itself.

In the next tutorials we will start looking at field types, and how to use field types to create fields. [00:23:56](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEgwiVNj6N0&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h23m56s) We will progress to eventually ending up with having this component fully functional and working. We will be illustrating all of these fields as they relate to these back end views that are linked to database tables. [00:24:22](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEgwiVNj6N0&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h24m22s) Hopefully that will give a good enough insight and understanding of how all this should be done.
