OpenCart developer training session

Love OpenCart? Want to learn more about OpenCart development from experienced developers? Alongside our friends at Realex Payments, we’re running the first ever OpenCart developer training session next month. On February 12th, our team will head to Realex Payments’ offices in the centre of London and will be ready to take on any questions you may have.

The relaxed and informal evening will kick off with a networking opportunity where you can meet our speakers, talk to fellow developers, exchange details and sample the great selection of FREE food and beer - come on, who can resist the temptation of free food and beer?

The event will begin with a short introduction and evening overview by our own Director, Gareth Christian-Lim. As one of OpenCart’s recommended partners, Gareth has over a decade of development experience and has worked closely with the OpenCart team for many years.

One of our Technical Project Managers, Chris Dixon, will be holding an in-depth technical talk. With a vast knowledge of many different languages, including Java, PHP, MYSQL, HTML, CSS and Javascript, Chris has worked closely with the OpenCart development team for a number of years. He has helped to build and test a number of features of many OpenCart versions, including OpenCart 2.0, as well as many popular modules.

The main technical talk, led by Chris Dixon, will begin by outlining and exploring the impressive evolution of the OpenCart system the last few years; with a key focus on the huge jump from OpenCart 1.5.6.4 to 2.0. With everything from the new modification and events systems and how to build modules in OpenCart 2.0, to how to correctly work with the new responsive theme and customise stores in 2.0 being covered, this developer training session is suitable for any developer who has an interest in OpenCart development - no matter how much or how little experience you have.

Throughout the talk there will be multiple Q&A session, giving you the chance to get expert answers to any queries you may have. The evening will conclude with an informal extended Q&A session and one-on-one training opportunities. Our speakers will have a demo site set up ready to give you hands on experience in using the latest version of OpenCart and will be available to go over the code with you - so remember to bring along your laptop!
