You'll be guided through the process of creating an application that has a full dashboard administration area and interacts with application events in concrete5.
After reading this book you should have all the basics covered for application development in concrete5 and you should have a great understanding of the process behind completing a fairly complex concrete5 block.
You'll also receive some practical examples for class inheritance and optimization which aren't necessarily concrete5 related.
