Summary
In this chapter, we really improved on our com_folio component, and now the backend works much like the core components. You now know how to create more complex components with multiple views, and how to take advantage of the built-in ACL. Your component can now also run on other database types such as the MS SQL Server, rather than the standard MySQL.
Get ready to apply what you've learned so far in the backend to the Joomla! frontend. In our next chapter, we will create some frontend views to display and manage our content. We will also look at menu item parameters and component options, as well as looking at how we can integrate ReCaptcha, the click-to-call plugin we created in Chapter 2, Getting Started with Plugin Development, and a third-party comments extension called Komento.
