Forget everything you know about traditional extension development. This isn't your grandfather's coding workshop—it's a high-octane dive into the future where AI doesn't just assist; it architects.
Watch as we weaponize Claude Code directly within your favorite code editor, transforming it into a Joomla-fluent development powerhouse. We'll expose the dark arts of crafting hyper-specific context files that make your AI think in Joomla's native tongue—no more generic PHP suggestions that miss the framework's soul.
Discover how to spawn specialized sub-agents that eat, sleep, and breathe Joomla 5/6 architecture. These aren't just prompts; they're precision-engineered AI personalities that understand the difference between a plugin and a module at a molecular level. Learn to construct sub-projects that continuously feed your AI the bleeding-edge developer documentation, ensuring it's always synchronized with the latest best practices and coding standards—even the ones that dropped yesterday.
But we're not stopping at code generation. We're automating the tedious: watch language files translate themselves across 15 languages in minutes, documentation that writes itself while maintaining technical accuracy, and test suites that anticipate edge cases you haven't even imagined yet.
This session strips away the mystique and delivers raw, actionable strategies for turning AI from a curious experiment into your most ruthless development teammate. Whether you're building your first component or your fiftieth, you'll leave armed with battle-tested workflows that compress months of development into days.
No fluff. No theory. Just pure, executable knowledge that will fundamentally rewire how you approach Joomla extension development.
