MagentoU “Fundamentals of Magento Development” impressions

Few days ago I was attending the MagentoU’s “Fundamentals of Magento Development” course in London. It’s a five day course covering Magento internals inside out (at least that’s the idea :) ). Price of the course at the moment is around $3,850.00, which is not a small amount to pay for a five day education. Good thing is that we needed to pay only 50% of the cost as Magento Silver Partner. So is it worth the money? Read more

CheckItOut, alternative checkout for Magento

If for some reason you are not a big fan of Magento’s default One Page Checkout concept / workflow, it might be worth checking out alternative. Usually these alternatives come in a form of so called “one step checkout” where main difference is that entire customer data / payment data / shipment data is displayed not just on one page, but in one “piece”. Why is this important? Well, it usually leads to a bit better user experience. Even a fraction better user experience can make a difference between new order and abandoned cart. No one likes abandoned carts :) . Read more

Magento Trusted Extensions

Magento Trusted Extensions

About ten months ago I wrote an article titled Magento Extensions Quality Assurance Certification. If you read it, then you know it was a pure result of my imagination. In that article I spoke about (then) current state of various extensions, their conflicts, etc. Finally concluding how nice it would be to have some sort of extension certification program. Certification program that would be in charge of checking several important parts of your extension inner working, etc. All with the final goal of classifying your extension as safe. Read more

New Magento Sample Data

New Magento Sample Data

Official Magento sample data is a bit old (Magento 1.2) and it takes too much time to install new Magento over them, since installation is updating too many tables at once. Also, there are some tables not present in default CE version, so we thought it would be great idea to update and clean them up a bit.
