All respect for those who have written the tutorials (e.g. HelloWorld etc) on dev.joomla.org.
But these tutorials only scratch the surface and they don't really explain all the classses which
may be used to create anything else which is more advanced than a simple HelloWorld component.
Absolutely... that isn't the purpose of the hello world tutorials.
What we need is a more detailed overview of all the classes, not the file structure.
There are tons of tutorials one may find on Google which explain which files to
put where, and so on, to create a simple HellowWorld component.
However, the actual framework in Joomla 1.5 seems to lack a decent documentation.
The API reference on api.joomla.org is automatically generated by phpDocumentor
and not really a true documenation, but just another way of publishing the API files.
Yep, and we need more volunteers for that. Check out the documentation wiki for the API reference that we already have (it needs some updates and isn't complete since it was all hand written, though it has examples for the stuff it does have, so it is often more helpful that api.joomla.org).
