Magento 2 Coding Jumpstart

You open PhpStorm, create a folder inside app/code, and then you are stuck, staring at an empty module in the most talked-about open-source eCommerce framework there is. Hundreds of core directories surround it, and none of them explain themselves.

PHP, XML, and JavaScript are the surface. A dependency injection and event system runs behind every one of those files, so a single new class touches conventions you cannot see from the file itself, and the usual scattered videos and blog snippets rarely agree on which convention is the right one.

This course builds your first working Magento module, directory by directory.

You learn Magento's folder structure and where core code actually lives, wire up a module's registration and configuration, then build the classes that hook into Magento's events, ending each lesson with code that actually runs.

This is Foundation, step 3. Next is Magento 2 Coding Kickstart, Essential skills step 1, once you can read Magento's directory structure without getting lost in it. See where it fits in the full Magento developer training path. It is already in your Library account, no credit card needed.

You leave with a working module and a map of where the rest of Magento lives.
