Video Course Fundamentals of Magento development

In February of this year, Magento made its “Fundamentals of Magento development” course free. It became available to those who wish to use video lectures, which are still possible to view on the portal training.magento.com . The course is quite extensive, it covers everything - from an explanation of the approach of Magento to OOP and MVC, to the construction of the grid in adminhtml.

I have been a Magento developer for more than 2 years, the main benefit of watching this course for me is that it helped me systematize my knowledge (+ gave me a portion of new ones). This was largely due to a good lecturer, who concurrently is an evangelist of Magento, Ben Marx , as well as thanks to the work of videographers - the course is professionally mounted.

Those who wish to take this course for free (previously it cost $ 3,850) can still register here .

And those who wish, who want to complete the course, but do not want to register, can download it entirely here . The fact is that watching a video on the Magento U portal can only be called convenient with a stretch, so I downloaded the entire course and arranged it for distribution on rutracker.

Attention, all videos are in English!
