Joomla Module Development

A module is a smaller unit of code within Joomla but they can still interact with the database and do powerful things. The best thing about a module is that you can have more than one on a page which sometimes makes them better than components. Since you can have more than one on a page, modules are best created generic in function, specific tasks should be components. If they are generic then they can make sense on any page that you will place them. All modules start at 10 developer hours.
