7 Magento 2 courses you should know

Written by Mario SAM

At some point you realize that Magento is the best platform to build a virtual store. And a few moments after starting to work with him he also realizes that he is not that simple.

The innumerable native features and the high flexibility and robustness of the platform bring with it a big problem: complexity.

Unlike other, simpler open source platforms, Magento brings with it a series of meticulously planned and made e-commerce features. And it does it in a way where each part of your system can be rewritten in different ways. In other words, Magento allows you to modify components and behaviors of the platform either through its rich administrative panel, modules, themes and even through server configurations.

For these reasons, understanding how Magento works and using its resources wisely can be quite laborious and challenging. The same goes for understanding how to create modules, themes, and make integrations via APIs.

Although the official Magento documentation (in English) is very rich and can help you a lot in each of these topics, in this article we will talk about Magento courses .

Even though I consider myself a devourer of tutorials, I always resort to online or face-to-face courses when I want to save time and learn a certain subject. It is no different with Magento.
