This category is dedicated to practical Magento tutorials for both Magento 1 and Magento 2, written from the perspective of a developer who has lived inside real stores. You will find guides that walk through everything from local setup and environment configuration to theme tweaks, layout changes, and module development. Articles cover core concepts like the Magento directory structure, XML layout updates, dependency injection, events and observers, and working safely with overrides so you do not break the upgrade path.
Because many stores are still moving from Magento 1 to Magento 2, I also focus on migration and maintenance topics. That includes planning and testing upgrades, cleaning up old extensions, optimizing database tables, and handling performance bottlenecks on busy catalogs. You will see examples of indexing strategies, cache tuning, cron jobs, and troubleshooting slow queries so you can keep page loads snappy even under load.
Security, stability, and day to day operations are a big part of these Magento tutorials as well. Expect walkthroughs for setting up backups, managing environments, wiring in payment gateways and shipping methods, and connecting Magento to external services like CRMs, ERPs, and analytics. Whether you are maintaining a legacy Magento 1 shop or building a fresh Magento 2 store, this category aims to give you copyable patterns and code you can trust in production.
