Hi mark! I’m currently learning to become associate developer. I’m 22 years old and got some basics down. I got handed a role at my job of maintaining the inventory up to date on magneto platform. I want to become certified doing this. Any tips on getting there? Also, I have no experience in coding or programming but, I want to expand my knowledge in those areas as well, to fully maximize my potential in this. Thank you!

I'm working for about a year with symfony after working with magento 2 and have the same feeling of unfinished business as you did after working with laravel. Now I'm getting back on studying magento to work with it again. I think that at the same time the learning curve beeing steeper than others php fw is a bit discouraging is also a challenge that makes you want to get back to dominate it. great video by the way, thanks!

Hi Mark! I am a fledgling Magento developer. I have been a PhpDev for 15+ years. I work for a small business, and we are in the process of switching over to Magento. We will be utilizing open source. I’ve perused the Magento Docs, but I noticed that they are labeled as being for Commerce. Can you please tell me, in your expert assessment, how much and which parts of the docs are applicable to o/s? Thanks!

I really want to learn Magento 2, but installing Magento 2.4.6-p2 is a nightmare in Windows. I did have Luma and Magento at one point, but my files did not hage app/code!

Hello Mark,

I have over 5 years of experience working with Magento, during which I have developed and implemented many complex modules, achieving numerous out-of-the-box functionalities. Additionally, I am a certified expert in Magento. Despite this, I feel that opportunities for compensation in this field are limited.

Given the growing importance of AI technology, I'm considering a transition to another tech stack. Do you think this is a wise move? If so, what skills should I focus on learning to align with the current technological trends?

Hi Mark, Thank you for your tutorial. please update your magento 2 kickstart course on MAcademey because your explanation so complex to understand you use so many words unclear for other nationalities as well as so fast to follow you.
