Our take
Based on the ratings of 812 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in May 2019. No course pays to be reviewed.
A 12 hour walk through Magento 2 module development, taught by Ilyas Muyiwa Soladogun, a certified Magento developer. The six sections cover architecture and customization, request routing, the database layer and setup scripts, EAV and extension attributes, the presentation layer, and customizing the admin. It is aimed at PHP developers who already write object oriented code and want to get hired for Magento work, or pass the Associate Developer certification. The "beginner to expert" label in the title oversells it. Reviewers call it a solid introduction, not an expert course.
Students like the structure and the fact that every line of code is typed live or pulled from the Magento source. A couple call it good value for the fee. The complaints are consistent. There is no downloadable source code, so people pause on frames to copy XML, and some report code cut off at the edge of the video. Subtitles stop for the last two or three sections, which hurts because the narration is hard to follow for non native listeners. The admin grid section gets the most heat: the code is pasted rather than explained, and a few say it did not run.
The bigger issue is age. The last update was May 2019, and reviewers say questions go unanswered and the course looks abandoned. Magento has moved on since, so plan to read the official docs alongside the videos. The 3.9 rating across 812 reviews fits the pattern: strong content, rough delivery. It still makes sense as a cheap paid starting point if you can tolerate the audio and are willing to type every line yourself. Anyone who needs downloadable code and active support should compare The Complete Magento 2 Course, which sits beside it in our Magento 2 list, before buying.
Pros
- Every line of code is typed on screen or pulled from the Magento source, so students see where things come from.
- Six sections cover the full module stack: architecture, routing, database, EAV, presentation layer and admin.
- Reviewers call it good value, and the syllabus is pitched as prep for the Associate Developer certification.
- Taught by a Magento 2 Certified Professional Developer with real module work behind him.
Cons
- No downloadable source code; students pause frames to copy XML and some report code cut off at the video edge.
- Narration is hard to follow and subtitles stop for the last sections, where the admin code is pasted, not explained.
- Last updated May 2019 and reviewers say questions in the Q&A go unanswered.
The pronunciation is not good enough. But I ignore it because the content is great.
Listed as all levels, but it assumes PHP and OOP. Reviewers say it is really an introduction for developers, not an expert course.

I am a Magento 2 Certified Professional Developer and Magento 1 Certified Developer with over 7+ years experience .
I have work in creating various magento modules - both easy and complex. I created this magento course cos there is a dearth of good magento course online that teaches both the concept and coding.
I have been training students on web development since 2014 and love impacting my knowledge.

Eu gostei, ele explica e pratica muito. Mas poderia ter mostrado exemplos melhores, com por exemplo desenvolver um projeto real. Somente a seção 1, eu não achei interessante, as técnicas de costumization, achei as aulas soltas. Me perdi em uma parte de algumas. As melhores seções pra mim foam a 3, 5 e 6. Parte da 2, achei legal também. Faltou também, compartilhar um repositório onde a gente poderia ver o que foi codificado. Assim depois de ver uma aula, olhariamos o código com mais calma, ou até mesmo antes, pra termos uma ideia do que vai ser feito, e focarmos em entender melhor a estrutura e explicação. Em suma achei bom, mas que podia melhorar em alguns pontos.

Ups: Course covers most of the important concepts in Magento 2 Course is good for beginners and who have less experience in magento Downs: 1.Hard to understand voice. 2.One Sections in the course didn't run. 3.Some Section in the course was instructor just pasted over the code mostly in Section 6 (Custimizing Admin ) Which was not able to follow the code.

Much of this class was a review for me but I did pick up a few things. I would not have paid full price but this was definitely worth the discounted price. One note - there is some information that is outdated. Examples are setup being used instead of declarative schema and models being used for database operations where resource models are no used. Again, a good class when considering the discounted price.

Bad sound, because there are only titles for half of course, in my opinion that is very amateur work. It would been better that author not put titles at all. Presentation of skills is also average, it has help me a little, but not in such way that i could say "this course is what put my Magento skills into high level". Most of all is poor language and sound production which is irritating sometimes.

I wanted to learn Magento 2 for the Developer exam, when I started this class. But This is a whole new level. I will get a good and sound understanding about how Magento works, core concepts and all. I don't know whether this is going to help to do the exam. But this will surely help me in working with Magento. Cheers.

The speech could be slightly better, but once you get familiar with it by referring more topics, it will not bother you much while learning for Section 1 to 4. But for Sections 5 and 6, speech should be more proper and it looks like the content is outdated but it can work. For topic 69: Custom Admin Grid Listing, the code is not shown properly for the larger affiliate member listing xml file. So you can not learn from this lecture. This lecture breaks the continuity of doing same coding as it had taught in last 68 lectures. Overall we can learn moderate level programming from this course.

This course has really helped me a lot to understand the backend aspect of magento but I do miss a bit of frontend development, maybe in future course you make (or include here) would focus aswell on some frontend ui components, requirejs, jquery, knockout js, in any case this has helped me a lot and I will recomend this course to my collegues
By Prabhat Kumar Jena on 6/20/2019
The course is very good for beginners. As I expected I got what I need but I had a simple suggestion, Please provide downloadable code material because it is very difficult to debug in case of any error. I have to go to videos and check everything, which is just a waste of time The teacher is very much experienced in the topic and explains everything nicely.
By Hira Ahmed on 4/17/2019
This course has covered all the major parts required for the development which is very useful for beginners, it actually leads the programmer from initial to advance level. I must say the instructor is very helpful and responsive which is the greatest help throughout the course.

Great course! I`d recommend watching this course at speed 1.25 ! Author explaining in deep details Magento structure. Basically, you can find the same info in official docs of Magento but as for beginner, it`s great to have a collection of basics in one course. Minus - PSR is not respected, it`s important for beginners to get used to code quality in Magento, but here this point is missed Thanks alot author for the course! It`s worth every penny spent =)
