On one side a developer is required to have a solid understanding of advanced PHP object-oriented knowledge, while on the other side there are numerous Magento-specific patterns and configuration options you need to master. This book will give you enough insight into the structure and concepts, and teach you a few tricks that will help you master Magento more easily. By the end of the book, you should familiarize yourself with configuration files, models, blocks, controllers, event/observers, shipping, and payment methods. All of these should form a solid foundation for your developing modules later.
