About the Book
Buy Magento 2 DIY eBook and printed on Amazon
In the Magento 2 DIY book, we describe how the newest version of the ecommerce platform works. Like our first book, Magento 2 DIY is also aimed at entrepreneurs, marketers, and other experts interested in ecommerce. It requires such skills as the ability to google, as well as a basic understanding of core concepts related to eCommerce and Internet.
Since the Magento 2 platform is absolutely new, the available information is not yet enough to write a book which is as informative as our Magento DIY, but Magento 2 DIY is an ongoing project, so we will update the book when new information is available. Thus, having bought it, you get free lifetime updates as well as useful tips and recommendations from the Firebear team. We are going to create a manual which will cover all aspects of the platform, making it possible to master ecommerce on the basis of Magento 2 without any third-party specialists. If you are looking for a complete guide to the Magento 1 ecommerce, check our first book: Magento DIY. The Complete Guide.
The book sheds light on all the major aspects of an ordinary ecommerce store based on Magento 2. Please note, that doesn’t require any coding skills, and covers both B2C and B2B segments of ecommerce, as well as describes enterprise and hi load ecommerce solutions. Having read the Magento 2 DIY book, you get deep insights into:
Magento 2 setup and configurations
Templates and design
The best Magento 2 extensions
SEO and SMO features of Magento 2
Magento 2 security
The optimisation of Magento 2 performance

Every chapter is divided into parts, each of which provides the easiest and at the same time the most advanced tips, leading you through all the aspects of Magento 2 ecommerce development. We place great emphasis on performance, growth, and scalability, covering appropriate tools, and pointing you to right directions and outer sources of actual information. We are planning to update the book several times with new tools, tips, extensions, and services, as they will be available for Magento 2.
