Magento 2 Coding Kickstart

Do you spend hours searching through extensive documentation, outdated tutorials, and confusing forum posts—only to feel more lost than when you first started?
Magento's intricate architecture and steep learning curve can make even experienced developers feel frustrated and stuck.
You'll then try to piece together code from random sources, but only to end up with a "solution" which barely works and have zero real understanding of how it all fits together.
Then when any updates occur the project then gets delayed, your confidence plummets, ...and you'll wonder if you'll ever be able to really learn Magento.
But what if there was a way to cut through the confusion?
Perhaps a roadmap specifically designed to help you navigate the complexities of Magento 2 development? What if you could finally understand this crazy architecture, make heads or tails of how things work, and even flip things around so that crafting Magento code becomes your specialty?
Imagine that you can not only understand the fundamentals, but master them, ...even excelling at developing involved Magento modules. And as your confidence increases, not only will you start to become comfortable, but you'll start to become recognized for Magento development by your peers.
From no experience to confident Magento dev—this is the premise of the Magento 2 Coding Kickstart course.
Mark Shust has over 20 years of real-life development experience and holds 6 Adobe Commerce certifications. He has helped tens of thousands of developers all over the world learn and improve their Magento skills through courses, lessons and tutorials.

The Magento 2 Coding Kickstart is one of, if not the best set of Magento training videos out there. It just cemented in my mind the things I do, and described them in ways that are easier to understand.

- Core Magento backend fundamentals
- Whether you are a beginner or a more experienced developer, we'll cover all of the core fundamentals you need to know, regardless of your current knowledge.
- The Magento architecture & filesystem
- Magento has over 100k files and folders, which are all intricately named and organized. We'll show you how things are structured and how to navigate the filesystem.
- Create a Magento module
- Magento is built on an extremely modular plug & play system. We'll show you how things work, and how to create your own module from scratch.
- Dependency injection
- Magento uses a unique dependency injection system, which is a core part of the Magento architecture. This concept can be tricky, but we'll break down exactly how it works.
- Core design patterns
- In order to make sense of how Magento works, you need to understand the core design patterns. We'll demystify these patterns in detail so they aren't a mystery.
- Database & ORM basics
