Magento official documentation download
30 Comments 1st APR 2009 | Posted by Ivan Weiler in Magento
We were among a few of the studios to receive the early release of the Magento documentation before it’s official release date.
We broke the embargo ’cause we just didn’t have the heart to keep it to our selves, we all now how painful it is to work without it.
So finally, what we’ve all been waiting for:
It contains class references, samples, documentation and tools utilizing the APIs required to develop with Magento.
It also explains how to set up real debug environment which will help you greatly.
The package contains over 1 million words of documentation and nearly 1000 samples of code.
We just scratched the surface but we can already say it’s awesome. Enjoy!

Samples are little hard to track, but generally very good. Thank you very much for this.

Who says it’s a joke
I think that this is the closest thing to what Varien would provide us on magento.
At least the number of pages is right (700-ish)

Hey, thanks for the efforts, but, I am not able to download it by any of your links now. So, could you please give us another source?

@george @Yann Sorry to disappoint you guys but if you read the comments from the top again, you’ll realize the harsh truth: It’s a prank pulled of for April Fools day.
June 1st, 2009 at 16:58
Yes, sorry guys, i believe we won’t be providing new download till next April Fools day

I liked this one, although I could see it coming!
But of course there is now an official Magento User Guide available from Varien, basic but official none the less. Anything that helps demystify Magento is a massive help, which is why I subscribed to the Inchoo feed.
