What are the prerequisites for Oro Technical Training?
First, you should have some basic knowledge of Symfony and Doctrine. In addition, every student needs a computer connected to the internet and an Oro application already installed. You’ll also need to install IDE and debugger and establish the connection between both, install PhpUnit5, install code style utilities and integrate them with IDE. That’s all you need to do to be set up.
What topics are covered?
Each of the three training sessions has a unique focus.
- Oro Fundamental Technical Training is an intensive five-day course that gives an in-depth introduction to the Oro development environment. It covers testing, extending functionality with bundles, entities, and their import and export, security and access control lists (ACLs), workflows, API, JavaScript components, integrations, activities, language, and translations. Optionally, course takers will be taught about MessageQueue, Oro dashboard widgets, the reporting and segmentation engine, and other helpful topics to round out your basic tech knowledge of Oro solutions.
- OroCommerce Technical Training is a three-day course. You should first complete the Oro Fundamental Technical Training before taking this course. It provides a deeper dive into functionalities and application components covered in the entry-level course, with a focus on OroCommerce. Attendees will learn OroCommerce’s frontend layouts and themes, customer entities, products and catalogs, pricing, inventory, taxes, checkout, payment and shipping methods as well as shopping lists, orders, and RFQs.
- OroCRM Technical Training is a two-day course that builds on Oro Fundamental Technical Training.. The training covers such topics as contact information, sales process, activities, and marketing tools.
Will I be bored?
We believe you will be engaged and not bored. All training delivers a well-balanced amount of theory and practice with a pinch of fun on top. During the explanatory and demonstration parts of the sessions, our instructors use a pre-designed slide deck along with a sample Oro development. Attendees put their newly minted knowledge to work with extensive hands-on experience with the features they explore. Everyone gets the opportunity to test their newly acquired knowledge in the staging environment.
