Joomla Platform/Framework

This presentation is an introduction to the Joomla!Platform, what is the platform, what are the ideas behind it, why we have this separation between CMS and platform. I am speaking about the pro and cons, briefly ;-) A big part are real live examples how I or others have used the platform, when it makes sense to use the platform and when it doesn't makes sense. I do explain how to contribute to the platform and to the project at all. PHP knowledge is not necessary.
