Once clients start asking you about Magento 2, you may be at disadvantage if you are recommending a much older version of Magento ( even though you are completely confident with the version) and merchants hear the market talking about the benefits of the new system. So early and often engagement in Magento 2 would be recommended.
But the question is “where is the best place to learn Magento 2?”
In this blog, I will recommend you people & places you should not miss out once interested in Magento 2.
Magento 2 Official sites
1. Github
You definitely should not miss this place because it is an official Magento 2 repository, installation code and instructions.
Github is a community that Magento 2 team constantly publishes codes & updates and you contribute your feedback, bug fix, etc to the community.
2. Magento 2 Developer Document
Before the Developer Beta release, all Magento 2 documentation was on the old public wiki, but now it is moved to a new location and platform – Magento 2 Developer Document
Just as Magento 1 training course, Magento 2 is expected to have one and the team are on the development of course materials for M2. We will find a lot of tutorials updating on the site every two weeks.
Magento 2 team
Nothing is better than learning/updating Magento 2 from people making it – the Magento 2 team. Let’s follow them!
1. Alan Kent – Magento Chief Architect at Ebay.
In his blog, you will see a lot of updates and most important improvement of Magento 2 since Magento 2 team has just continued their project.
He gives us a variety of insight and side decks on topics that anyone working in magento 2 find interesting. He does not publish articles too often but they are absolutely important notes.
However, if you follow him on twitter, you will find a lot of updates about almost everything Magento 2 about which he tweets and retweets almost everyday. It’s great to follow for a constant stream of quality content to your Twitter feed.
2. Max Yekaterynenko – Director of Magento 2 development.
If you want to save time not to dig in github to find latest update on Magento 2. I am sure Max’s blog is good place to go. He sums up and notes important updates in code about any versions of magento 2.
3. Ben Marks – Magento developer & evangelist
In his blog, you will find important information and announcement after the release of magento 2 version. And he also provide suggestion for developers after every release.
Magento 2 practical tutorials
If you want to be more practical on create modules or play with Magento 2 to understand fully about it. You definitely follow Magestore’s blog. They are very famous for a chain of Magento 1 tutorials and now are one of the frontiers on giving Magento 2 tutorials. What I like about their tutorials is that they are really easy to understand and follow.
You can also find a lot of updates which they collected every two weeks about Magento Plugins and Magento 2 Plugins
If you want to look at Magento 2 from different angles, I’d like to recommend Magentician. They are very fast to catch up what’s going on with Magento 2 and quickly sum up and give their own opinion about the issue. They also publish many tutorials on Magento 2. It’s really a good place to go.
Alright, that’s pretty much it on this post. I hope it is helpful for you to find good places to catch up everything with Magento 2. If you know any else good sources, please recommend to us and we will update to this blog.
