JoomStew Radio – November 3, 2010 – Extension Series – NinjaBoard

Today JoomStew Radio is proud to have Stian Didriksen from Nooku, Ninjaforge and ProThemer as our guest. This show is the 4th and final episode in our series on Joomla Extensions and features the Ninjaboard Forum component.

We talk about a lot of unique features of Ninjaboard, but also go indepth into the Nooku Framework on which it runs. If you don't know what Nooku is, or haven't heard a good explanation of what a Framework is, this podcast should enlighten you as to how it works.

Also included in this show is the debut of our News Anchor Dianne Henning, who brings us the latest news in and around Joomla. Lot's of cool stuff going on right now!

We’re going to discuss Ninjaboard a bit, but also, we want to tell our listeners about the Nooku Framework that Ninjaboard runs on. Nooku newsletter signup.
