Joomla 2.5 component realization

I'm php programmist, and I never wrote components on Joomla 2.5 CMS, but I know it's concepts and some base hierarchy. Now I have to write a booking component which concept is

  • to realize the user editable booking form
  • to realize the administration of it's data
  • to afford admin creating multiple instances of that form (with some different settings e.g. font color, enableness of some fields, ...)
  • to afford admin load created instances of form in different materials on site (I suppose by inserting {loadmodule com_name?formid=...} ?)

I see that problem completely hard because of simply unknowing of Joomla inside construction. How should I implement that? (I mean exacly structure of my component, maybe I should use some hard features, additional plugins, modules, or some special joomla core exceptions ...)? The most important thing is two last steps above. I just can't google how to combine those things in single component on that CMS.

There are already a bunch of booking components. I'd just get one of those and then if you are not satisfied with it, fork it to add new features for your client. – Elin
