The CompStore theme
The CompStore theme project is the new Magento 2.0 theme that you will develop for a hypothetical computer store client or for a theme marketplace such as http://themeforest.net/. I strongly suggest you to take a look at the Become an author page at http://themeforest.net/become_an_author in order to explore the options to monetize your Magento theme development expertise. Logically, you have to work harder before publishing and selling your own theme solution, but it will be worth it!
Magento 2.0 themes and modules work with the
Composer (https://getcomposer.org/) dependency manager for PHP to generate a reliable deployment of Magento components. This is a great evolution in the Magento universe because this management can provide a powerful environment for the deployment of modules and themes. So, we will create a composer
file for our new theme solution.
Before we start the theme development, let's take a look at Composer.
