Overview of this book

Magento is the e-commerce software and platform trusted by the world’s leading brands. Using Magento’s powerful theming engine, you can control the look, content, and functionality, and easily launch a flexible e-commerce website. However, because of its powerful features, developing Magento themes is easier said than done. This book aims to leverage the enhancements to theme designing in Magento 2 to the fullest. It will show you how to gear up the performance of your e-commerce website. We begin by introducing Magento 2 and its features along with implementing a local development Magento environment. We then move on to discuss the concepts of the Magento theme structure such as templates, inheritance, customization, and override. Further on, we explore the Magento UI Library, which is a new feature available in Magento 2.0. We will create a new Magento 2.0 theme named MyCake Store using Magento Bootstrap from Maven E-commerce and also create print strategies for the Magento 2.0 theme. We will also create and customize a new theme proposal for the Magento admin panel. At the end, we will integrate Magento 2.0 to Twitter and integrate it with social bookmarking and finally deploy our new Magento 2.0 theme.

Chapter 1. Introduction to Magento 2

"Computers themselves, and software yet to be developed, will revolutionize the way we learn" - Steve Jobs.

The Internet is an important sector of many businesses, both large and small, in the modern world. It's now rare for a company to not have at least a basic web presence, and increasingly unlikely that a company's products are not sold online. Magento is a powerful e-commerce system, used by international organizations such as Nike, Nestlé, Gant, and Fun4Kids.

This is what we will see in this chapter:

  • Take a look at what Magento 2 is and what it can do
  • Discover the differences between Magento 1.x and Magento 2.x
  • See the default themes that come installed with Magento 2.x
  • Look at a showcase of custom Magento themes from real websites
  • Find out the particular challenges in customizing Magento themes
  • Install and configure Magento 2 ready for theming

As you will come to see, Magento is quite a large e-commerce system and this book will guide you through customizing its quirks and eccentricities.
