Come for the Training, Stay for Imagine!

Imagine what you can learn if you come to Las Vegas a few days early to attend our Fundamentals of Magento Development course…

That’s right, we are offering a unique opportunity to take our Fundamentals of Magento Development course in the days immediately before the Imagine Conference in Las Vegas. This 40 hour course covers the basics and then dives into topics such as Rendering, Working with Database in Magento, Entity-Attribute-Value model and AdminHTML.

When you leave the course at the end of the week, you will have a better understanding of the Magento architecture, MVC and data models, how to work with Magento modules, and how to customize and extend Magento to ensure the best upgrade path for the websites they extend.

Following the course, you can spend some time relaxing in Las Vegas gearing up for Imagine!

Register now to secure your spot. Seats are limited and this class (like the conference) will sell out! http://www.magentocommerce.com/training/descriptions#fundamentals-of-magento-development
