Magento 1.3: PHP Developer’s Guide – Free Copies

on Apr 18th 2010 with 945 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+!

    Ive used Magento on two projects but have yet to master its many, many (did I say, MANY) complexities. I wouldnt stay with it if I did not see such great potential. To get there, I must have a better reference than what I can scrounge online (like this book for starters). I cannot tell from the sample chapter if this book is it … but Id love to find out.

    You know…I was all about jumping on the magento bandwagon but fell back due to all the talk about getting a dedicated server (which I cant afford right now) to run it smoothly. But Ive been saving up and really want to make the leap of faith! :-)

    This guide will really help me during that dive off the magento cliff!

    Magento is THEEE best modelled open source shop system i know of. It makes fun to develop new stuff, i like the abstraction of content/products and the design, it uses plain php based templates, has models views and controllers, … . ahh, yeah – would love to get a copy ;)

    New to design always looking for great advice and wisdom!

    Some only get these
    Knowledge: the acquiring of Information.
    Understanding: discerning and valuing important truths.

    But I will always strive for
    Wisdom: the act of applying these truths.
