Joomla Framework : Getting Started Guide

Question

I've been working for joomla CMS for years, and now the project got more complex and its time for me to build custom solution beyond the CMS.

Now, I tried to find books about the Joomla Framework and online courses, but there's none.

I found a tutorial series called Joomla Framework Solutions by Andrew Eddie but the step one (getting started) has problem as the output keep 'telling me':

"Configuration file could not be parsed"

So, is there a dummy guide for Joomla Framework?

I've pushed a working CRUD example on the intermediate branch of Michael's fork https://github.com/mbabker/framework-app/tree/intermediate

You can clone it, and run

$ php composer.phar install

from the clone's location to install the framework. The above command should take care of creating the configuration file for you. Worst case you can manually create a Config.json file in the /App/Config folder by copying the Config.dist.json
