Birnam Designs Blog -- sharing tips, resources, ideas, and more on web development and design

Don’t snuggle up too closely with the current Joomla 1.5 beta, a new templating system is coming down the pipe (currently in the nightly builds) that replaces the patTemplate system that had been in development. Amy Stephen brings us the news. I trust the Joomla developers, so I’m sure this will only lead to a more flexible, more extensible system.

So now here I am, developing a site based on a version of Joomla that will now have a radically different templating system from the launch version. Am I worried? Not a bit. I am developing with fully semantic code, so the bit that involves the template is purely structure, not design. All I need to do is move my CSS file, and the transition will be very easy.

I just never thought I’d be reaping the benefits of semantic code so quickly!
