Getting up to speed on Magento
I’m compiling a list of tutorials and steps for getting outsourced developers up to speed. So as a requirement I need to know what I could expect an Indian developer to know if I told him/her:
- Install Magento on your machine by following the instructions on ysiad.com/howtoinstallmagento (probably links to other resources, with my own notes added.)
- Go through all the tutorials listed on ysiad.com/magentotutorials (links to other resources in the order I want them to go through them, such as alanstorm.com, inchoo.net and the magentowiki.)
- Look at the source code for the modules listed on ysiad.com/wellwrittenmagentomodules and answer the following questions about them.
It’s a bit of a project, but there is a shortage of skilled Magento developers. Â I hope that by compiling these lists, I’ll help people learn magento faster, whether they work for me or not.
