Build a component for Joomla, even if you have NO KNOWLEDGE previously

You have all learned a lot about AI and configuring your tools.

Now let's use AI to create a component, and then your AI tools to get it to do stuff.

Even if you haven't used AI, you can build a fully working component in a just a few minutes with the new component creator AI. 

I have spoken with Soren Jensen and he has agreed to move the AI feature to the free version so everyone can join in, but I highly recommend paying, not only to support Soren, but also because you can have more tables.  

As per usual, we welcome all users, and anyone, even with no knowledge, could have a basic component built by the end of this meeting.

We'll be using Component Creator.

A follow on for people who so enjoyed our first AI tutorial with Joomla

Do you ever wish you could create components, plugins, modules?  Scared? Not sure how?  Well, now is your chance, we'll show you how to get there using only AI.

Turn up with a code editor and we will be using Claude Code so signing up for an account before hand would be useful.

Claude Code has both a free and paid version, the paid version is maybe £10 per month, so it's not expensive.  Please sign up before hand to save time.  If you can add it to your editor then even more time savings so we can do the fun stuff in the meeting.

You can however use any AI you want and any code editor, it just may be easier to follow along if we're all using the same thing.

There will be some tutorial-led stuff by Adam Melcher, but you are not obliged to follow it.  The only request we have is that you turn up, bring a device, join in, and in those 2 hours, you create something that could be used in Joomla using AI to speed up your workflow.

And believe me, you can build some pretty epic things.

Don't forget we're meeting again for our next Code Along JUG on Sunday, the 15th of June, at 3pm UK time (UTC+1). This session will be supported by Adam Melcher and Eoin Oliver as we guide you through building a J2Store-powered Joomla site designed for selling extensions.

In this JUG only Eoin and Adam attended so we did an extended knowledge of J2Commerce with Adam giving out some great tips.

Learn to code a Joomla Administrator module that will allow your customers to chat with you from within the Joomla Admin. Never ask them to leave Joomla for help ever again, instead allow them to ask for help there and then just where they need it.
