Sometimes finding documentation for Joomla features is like searching in a darkened home for that illusive flashlight. Even if you find what you're looking for, it may be no help at all (are these batteries dead?). Likewise, documentation on Joomla is often difficult to locate and when you discover something in the area where you're looking, the thing you need is missing. There is a well-lit, often comfortable place where you can find anything you're searching for -- the Joomla source code. Using a powerful text editor like jEdit, you can often quickly and easily locate the information that you need.

Many developers (especially lone developers) don't understand the advantages of using source code control / SCC (a.k.a. source code management / SCM ). SCC means registering your source code with a repository so that revisions and versions can be logged and stored. Most often, SCC is used with team-based projects since the repository can allow multiple people to work on the same project at the same time. Changes are uploaded to the repository and coordinated so that one person's modifications do not overwrite another's.
