Joomla is great for building all sorts of websites, but I find that the real power comes from being able to mix and match PHP/MySQL code with the rest of the Joomla code. There are numerous ways to do this: - If you want to do it the right way then you can always write a custom module or component. A module is not that difficult, but a component is a bit of a different story. I am not going to go into how to write a component here, since the focus of this entry is rather on doing a quick and dirty!
I've seen this Extension on the Joomla site: It is a Developer Toolkit for Joomla that, among other things, "creates boiler plate components" - will check it out one of these days and write up some feedback.
