Video Course: Mastering Magento
Magento Tutorial Videos for Developers
Magento development can be hard to grasp. The learning curve is steep. Many features of Magento development are unclear. And, unless you’re Alan Storm, code that you find online isn’t explained. But don’t lose hope! I created the Mastering Magento video course to help you. These Mastering Magento tutorial videos are filled with detailed and in-depth walkthroughs. And when I say filled, I’m talking jam-packed with nearly four hours of video.
Course Contents
The video tutorials are grouped into roughly 30-minute sections. The first two sections will have you set up a server and install Magento, and the following sections cover topics related to Magento development. By the end of the video course, you will know the ins and outs of Magento programming.
All code examples are available to download if you purchase the course. You will also get thorough line-by-line commentary as you follow along with the videos.
