I decided to write my experience with J-Cook after my first project is almost finished.
When I got project I was searching for mvc generator on joomla.org and find J-Cook.
After the first visit to the j-cook.pro, services looked very promising acording to my project.
I decided to pay a little fee and try this.
First steps was to learn how J-Cook work and I spend around 3h to set up small working test component.
Then I decided to start with my project. For first not even beta version I spend around 2h, but every time I wisited J-Cook bulder interface I found some new functionality (they was there before, but I did not know what they do).
With a bit of help from admin and other active users on j-cook forum and after spending around 30h in total (which is not much for the first project) I am proud that we have launched the website
www.pozejdon-turizem.com which is turist agency (sorry only in local language).
Now I am using J-Cook for 3 projects and I believe I will spent at least half the time building new components and I will definitely use the J-Cook service in the feature.
I must say J-Cook is not painless solution but I believe that it will eventually become.
What bothers me the most:
- Almost no tehnical documentation
- Some bugs which I are sooner or later eliminated (I will not write here wich one, it is not the right section)
- Some solutions like file uploads and MIME types
...
In the end I have to thank admin, who regularly monitored forum and help us with solutions or the correction of J-Cook errors in less then 1 day!
Cheers!
