- Goes step by step through making a real Magento module, not just some hello world or blog
- Teaches about Magento testing techniques
- How to properly deploy Magento and Magento modules
- Covers the admin grid system - how to set them up for new modules or edit them
- Magento layout xml files - how they work
- First few chapters go over all the Magento codebase in a thorough manner - get up to speed on what you need to know very quickly. Much faster than going through the 40 hour fundamentals of magento screencast.
- Covers how to setup Vagrant - though I already had done this it's great to have a resource there for people learning it and how it will help your development
Even if you are already a experienced Magento developer there are sure to be some things for you to learn in here. Obviously Allan researched well this book and is applying the "correct" way of writing Magento modules. If you try and find online tutorials they are often of low quality or plain don't work. This book is different and will save you a lot of time in the Magento learning process. Thanks Allan for writing such a great book! Looking forward to more like this!
I emailed Allan and he emailed back saying he may be writing more books so I'm certainly looking forward to that. It's always been strange to me how such a large E-commerce framework like Magento had such low quality learning resources, but hopefully that will change now!
