Summary of experience with J-Cook 28 Sep 2012 14:36 #4130

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! :silly:

I jumped and started to work on a demo component... but 2 days later this demo component became the real component. I just showed today the end result to my customer and he turned to me and said... "this is more than I expected"... All of this is because Cook did cut about 70% of my work and provided me more ways to improve the usability of the component. The end result was 17 tables all related between than to generate a full dashboard for the travel agents. Thanks for Cook developers for such great tool. This component would not be possible to be done at short time with all the features in it
