For example: Since there are a lot of concepts in components that are build for Joomla, which may be called Conventions or Boilerplate Implementation. These things are always the same. I wanted something like a wire frame that could just take care of that for me all the time.[00:01:09](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQfsLYIeblk&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h01m09s) Even if Joomla was to change, to be able to make a change in one place, and then compile it into all the components that I have developed. Then have them run again, stable on Joomla, instead of having to go to every one of those components. We have gone beyond developing the most basic parts of a Component and ventured into some of its complexities.[00:01:40](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQfsLYIeblk&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h01m40s) That is why showing you an Hello World Component being built by Joomla Component Builder. It is still going to end up being quite an advanced Component.

I had build JCB for myself, and it was not intended as a community project. It has since became a community project with the code open on GitHub. [00:02:19](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQfsLYIeblk&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h02m19s) With only functionality in mind, I did not contemplate the complexity thereof during the development and set conventions in place which I know how to use. [00:02:43](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQfsLYIeblk&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h02m43s) On the surface JCB might look just like any other Component Builder, but when you start to use it and and come to know some of its secrets, it is amazing how conventions, even conventions that you would use when you develop components yourself would make JCB do things that are quite amazing.

If you do not know PHP and Joomla's API you should not expect to built complex components with JCB.

If you are very good at PHP programming and know the Joomla API, you can simply go into the Compiler, and start reading the code. The Compilers code files are alphabetically ordered.

Reading this code and understanding how JCB's Compiler Constructs the code would send you on a treasure hunt where you would discover amazing features.
