How can I get started and write code in joomla?

I am a .Net developer, but recently moved into the world of PHP. I have worked with PHP in the past and wrote code in CodeIgniter and basic PHP. I understand all this.

But we currently have a Joomla requirement. I went through Joomla to get started, and also looked at these video tutorials: http://www.buildajoomlawebsite.com/joomla-tutorials/the-basics/

But they just teach where to move the mouse and what to click, etc. I can not find any code there. I have a project, and I'm sure there must be some way when we can open something in the editor and write CODE!

I need to integrate Paypal IPN also on this website. But I am completely stuck. I just can't find where to write the code. How do I start all this? Any help would be appreciated.

At first, I would grab onto the templates, because they control the appearance of the website and are understandable. Just change the default template to see how everything works.

Before you start developing your own modules or components, it is always worth checking what is already there, because you often find something that is close to what you are trying to do so that you can study or modify existing solutions:

The next step in the development will be the creation of a module that can be displayed in any position on the website.
