Joomla! 1.6/1.7 extension developer resources
I was compiling a quick-list with the Joomla! 1.6/1.7 resources my developers and I used when we were converting ccInvoices and ccNewsletter to be Joomla! 1.6+ compatible, and thought the list might be useful to others.
The resources are actually easy to find, you just need to know where to look (and who to follow on twitter). But for those in a hurry, here is our own "Joomla! 1.7 Resources" document.
