This book was written keeping in mind developers with minimal programming knowledge but a strong will to learn. We will use a lot the Python language and explain how to run Odoo in a Ubuntu/Debian system, but little previous knowledge on them is assumed. The code examples are kept simple and clear, and they are accompanied with appropriate explanations to help build up the knowledge on them.
Experienced developers, already familiar with Odoo, should also be able to benefit from this book. Not only does it allow them to consolidate their knowledge, it also provides an easy way to get up to date with all the details that changed with Odoo 11.0. In fact, special care was taken to highlight all the relevant changes between Odoo versions since 8.0.
Finally, this book should provide a solid reference to be used daily, both by newcomers and experienced developers. The documentation of the relevant differences between the several Odoo versions should also be a good resource for any developer working with different Odoo versions at the same time or porting modules to other versions.
