Odoo Development Cookbook

I always want to know know who is writing the computer software book review, so I'll start there. I'm pretty comfortable in Linux. I'm not really a developer or DevOp. I have a lot of manufacturing and ERP experience. Let's get into the book review.The book is written for Odoo v9. v10 comes out ~October 2016. Most info will still apply. v8 was a bit different, and v7 was wholly different. This book should work for quite a while.What it won't do:This won't teach you Linux, Python, or XML syntax, but it shouldn't. You should have a reasonable understanding of git (like GitHub). You should have already played with Odoo a bit to learn how it comes together. You should also know about your business processes.What it will do:Teach you by doing first, explaining second. Chapters are organized with the _how it works_ following the procedural _recipe_. This works well because you're curious to see how a certain bit you just typed works. Brunn et.al. have done well referring to related recipes, including those you haven't seen yet.You'll learn, by example, how to set up a new Odoo instance. The authors give good tips for building a maintanable infrastructure to run your Odoo project.You'll learn how to create and extend Odoo modules. After building out some basic functionality, the authors explain more broad concepts. Don't expect your pace through the book to be linear. The first few chapters may take 1-2 days. Mastering later chapters could take months or more. In this way, Cookbook is instructional and a reference.If you're building out an Odoo instance, or if you develop Odoo modules professionally, this is definitely worth the small price.

This is one of the detailed and widely covered book on Odoo Development. I liked the simplicity and coverage made in the book. It was one of the long awaited and need for the market for new and experienced developers alike.

I'm just half of the book and am very surprised with the details which it covers, terrific book!
