I explain how to make Magento Community Edition as powerful as Enterprise Edition is. Each part of this Magento ebook provides the easiest and at the same time the most advanced steps, leading you through all the aspects of DIY ecommerce and mastering Magento.
A special attention is given to the Magento performance, growth, and scalability. I cover appropriate tools, and point you to the right directions.
Although the new version of the ecommerce platform offers a plethora of improvements, Magento 2 won’t outperform 1.X within the next few years. This time is required for the creation of an ecosystems with all necessary extensions, themes, third party software solutions, and developers. Thus, I recommend you to start your ecommerce business with the latest available version of Magento 1.X, as it is the most robust tool for online retail. When Magento 2 is mature, you will be able to migrate from your current version without any headaches.
So, get the Magento book pdf and start your journey into the world of ecommerce. Besides, you can check our blog to get all recent updates, Magento books, guides, and tutorials, extension reviews, and other crazy modern ecommerce things.
