Sorry.i am new to joomla.Is there anyone who could tell me whether joomla is mvc framework or content management system?? I am confused.kind regards
Joomla is a content management system built using the MVC pattern. Joomla provide interfaces and APIs to let you extend it and build addons to add more feature to it. So some people define it as a framework too
The public facing presence is of Joomla! the CMS - architecturally though since version 1.6 it's been moving to Joomla! the CMS [GitHub] which sits on top of the Joomla! Platform [GitHub].
The idea is to leverage all the good in the framework for applications other than the original CMS functionality. So, you can create stand alone applications using the platform, they don't even have to be web applications. e.g. we have several small apps that are fired from cron to run background tasks that leverage the platform framework and the models etc of our larger Joomla components.

As you know some well-known PHP frameworks have provide front-controller pattern and access control mechanism. Also there are some micro framework that provide front-controller pattern.
I have surveyed some such frameworks and yet could not make a decision, My concerns is:
Stability
Stability
Stability
Performance
Security
I do not expect any thing more form my core framework, I will use pure PHP or I may use specific module from various frameworks.
Currently I have experience in ZF 1.x, ZF 2.x, Phalcon frameworks. And I also read Lithium docs, but I found no one suitable for my project.
Also as per this, this, this and this pages ZF, Symfony, CakePHP, FuelPHP are not efficient frameworks (fat frameworks).
(image source)
Can you please suggest a suitable framework or a combination of moudules that satisfy such requirement?
Also see this related (but old) question.
In my opinion (because that's all that any answer could be here) the best, lightest weight framework is Kohana. It is very minimal and can integrate with whatever third party libraries you use (including ZF).
I always recommend the Yii framework.
It has great performance - http://www.yiiframework.com/performance/

I am just looking for some opinions on a preferable module to us efor Joomla. It must:
allow CMS users to edit fields etc.
store data in the database
not have excessive mark up
have easily editable themes.
I have used Breezing forms and some others, but they all seem a bit clunky and over kill for what is required.
I would like a fairly lightweight form module with easy customisation from a dev point of view.
You can use Fabrik extension. You can get it by go to this link
It's free and simple to use. Fabrik gives you the power to create forms and tables that run inside Joomla without requiring knowledge of MySQL and PHP. Then feed your data into Google Maps, Charts or an AJAX based calendar etc.It's my personal opinion, I have used this and found it interesting.
And others extension such as RSform ,Breezing forms, Red form etc. but these are commercial extension.
RSForm! Pro is the best form module.
http://www.rsjoomla.com/
RSForms Pro is a really good component for forms in Joomla. But it isn't really lightweight, it's fairly extensive. But still quite easy to use. ;)
I would recommend RSForms!
Well maintained
Easy to use and powerful
Theming engine
The price is low enough to avoid all the hassle "free" components can provide
Have a look at their website : http://www.rsjoomla.com/joomla-extensions/joomla-form.html

Modular - Plug-able architecture
Module for managing Email notifications, etc.
Ability add new module by way of adding new plugin
I'm basically looking for a framework kind of a thing for MVC3 based on which i can build my application. I'm fine with it even if it doesn't have a CMS built into it.
Can you guys help me find the one best suited for this kind of a purpose.

I'm developing a quite simple site at least for now.
What I want is to make it possible for administrator to create posts (articles). And further to form a blog in a subdomain.
I didn't find a tutorial on blog development using ASP.NET MVC 3. Can you provide any useful tutorial/post/book.
Thanks!
This is a good tutorial from asp.net which should help you:

Hope this helps?
If you want to develop powerful dynamic websites with patterns-based which enables a clean separation of concerns and gives you full control over markup for enjoyable, agile development then MVC (Model view controller) is the best option in current software engineering cycle.

I'm interested in the Presentation-Abstraction-Control? (aka Hierarchical-Model-View-Controller (HMVC)) Architectural Pattern for constructing complex user interfaces (GUI or web) and was wondering if anyone was aware of any examples in the wild where I could read the code?
I'm aware of the JavaWorld article and associated letters cited in the Presentation-Abstraction-Control wikipedia article.
In the php world, I'm aware of a few methods that might qualify as HMVC. They all allow calling a controller and displaying the results from within a view. The calls can be nested infinitly creating widgets within widgets.
Zend Framework: Action View Helper
CodeIgniter: 3rd party Modular Extensions - HMVC
Kohana: 3rd party Component Edit: Kohana 3 now natively supports HMVC
I wrote an HMVC framework a while back for J2EE and FreeMarker:
http://www.neocoders.com/portal/projects/jandal
and recently another one for Javascript:
http://www.neocoders.com/portal/projects/subo
These are fairly 'experimental', but might be of some academic use.
cheers,
Lindsay
It's my understanding that the Cairngorm framework for Adobe Flex is just one example of an HMVC implementation. It's open source, so you can find out more information and download the code at Adobe's website.
The APF-Webframework - http://adventure-php-framework.org/Page/001-Home - uses HMVC since many years, and has a very experienced and engaged developer. Only the small community discourages a little bit.
I wrote an HMVC framework in PHP called Alloy:
http://alloyframework.org/
It's pretty lightweight and has a modular structure.
