Magento Code That Sucks
There will be times you are working with a pile of Magento spaghetti code, and you'll get to the point where you'll throw up your hands and say: this code sucks.
We've all thought it at one point. It could be a previous project's code, our coworkers code... or even our code! But it's not always apparent exactly how to fix it.
Welcome to the Magento Code That Sucks course — a fun, no-nonsense collection of lessons that will help you solve the trickiest mess of spaghetti code.
You can't always have a seasoned guru sitting next to you, pointing out the common mistakes that happen every day and the hidden gotchas that trip up even the most experienced developers. This course is the solution to this problem. We'll dive into some real-world examples of suboptimal code, disect it apart, and then go over how to refactor it, using a bit of humor and some pragmatic wisdom.
And don't worry -- we won't be calling out who created any this horrible, no-good, very bad code, because we're all guilty of writing code like this. We'll focus more on how we can learn and improve from this code rather than passing blame.
So, if you're ready to stop swearing at your screen and learn how to turn that mess of spaghetti into something worthy of a 3-star Michelin restaurant, let's grab a coffee and start turning that code frown upside-down.
Your courses helped me apply some "gotchas" that really eased my development work. Thank you!
Foundational excellence
What you'll learn
It's not possible to build an all-encompassing course on Magento development, so we take a different approach.
Each course is focused on a specific outcome and follows a proprietary linear-learning approach that teaches you exactly what you need to know, when you need to know it. Nothing more, nothing less.
We also don't want to waste your time, so lessons are also short and concise, and you can easily reference them in the future.
