Learning development with ERP5 can take initially from 4 hours to 1 year, depending on how deep you want to go in terms of know how and scope. If you want to develop gadgets and reports, OSOE provides learning tracks to bootstrap a developer in less than one day. If you want to develop extensions to ERP5 core, patience is required since ERP5 scope is quite wide, as wide for example as the Linux kernel itself.
Learning Tracks
Learning tracks consist of a sequence of lessons designed for a given target audience.
- Experienced developers who wish to develop complete ERP5 applications should read the learning track "How to create a forum module". This learning track teaches everything a developer should know about python, Zope, ERP5 development environment and ERP5 guidelines.
