Magento 1.3: PHP Developer’s Guide – Free Copies

on Apr 18th 2010 with 946 comments

Magento is one of the most popular PHP eCommerce solutions available for web developers. In their own words, it’s the fastest growing eCommerce platform in the world. Packt Publishing has generously donated a handful of copies of their latest Magento book, called “Magento 1.3: PHP Developer’s Guide”. Given that ThemeForest and CodeCanyon have both begun selling Magento themes and extensions, respectively, now would be a fantastic time to get on board with your training! To win a free copy, simply leave a comment, and I’ll randomly choose and contact some of you.


Magento 1.3 Developer's Guide

“Magento is the most powerful e-commerce solution around and has gained popularity in a short period of time. You can create and manage online stores using the extensive suite of powerful tools it offers. However, because of its powerful features, developing with Magento can be easier said than done.

This book will show you how to develop better and do more with the Magento. You will be able to extend and customize modules for the Magento system without editing the core system code. It will show you how to create both basic and advanced functionality modules for your store and help you turn your ideas for extending Magento into reality by building modules from scratch.”

Thanks so much to Packt Publishing for always helping out on Nettuts+!

    Is it too late to win a chance at winning a free copy? Magento looks very powerful, but very confusing though. I wish more books were about the PHP development of Magento and not so much the Admin Backend.

    How difficult is Magento to work with? I just started my first internship in the design field (YAY!) and the boss had a site built in magento that he wants me to work with, but since I don’t know much PHP and have never worked with Magento, I told him I wasn’t sure if I could tackle that just yet. Just wondering what I’m getting myself into here, thanks!
