Description

Odoo is fast becoming the reference open source platform for business applications thanks to the fact that it provides the infrastructure needed for developers to deliver software solutions for any business process quickly. Odoo's layered module approach makes it particularly effective for combining and extending features. This updated fifth edition is a tutorial-style introduction to essential Odoo development topics. The book starts by covering the development essentials for building business applications and takes you through Odoo installation and configuration, gradually transitioning from having no specific knowledge of Odoo to being ready for application development. You'll then learn how to develop your first Odoo application, while covering topics such as models and views. Later chapters will get you up to speed with using server APIs to add business logic, helping you lay a solid foundation for advanced topics. As you progress, you’ll get equipped to build and customize your applications and explore the new features available in Odoo 12 and beyond, such as in-memory ORM and computed writable fields. Finally, you’ll gain insights into building business logic and using the Odoo API to integrate with various applications. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build business apps from scratch using the latest version of Odoo.

Odoo itself is one of the most complete ERP systems that are offered in the market with many modules and features available that can cover most of a business's needs. This book perfectly describes many developers' needs that are explained through a variety of examples.The first chapters are easy to understand and introduce us to development in Odoo in a simple and direct way. Some topics that are covered are also useful for standard users such as importing and exporting data, Models - structuring the application data, Odoo applications, etc.I would recommend seeing in future editions more information about the integration of external email servers as well as more studio features and capabilities. Also, Odoo contains additional technical resources that standard users may benefit from such as automated actions.Even if you do not know much about programming, you can definitely read this book, as the target audience is experienced developers as well as new users.

The topics that are covered in this book are precisely the ones all developers want to know. You can either read it thoroughly or you can search for specific topics of interest. I liked that the author exposed his ideas on how to solve specific problems that are commonly presented in Odoo. I hope for later editions to have more illustrations.

This book should be a starting guide for every Odoo implementer out there. It really explains everything from the very beginning - what is the structure - models, fields, views, actions, ... It firstly shows how to do small customizations yourself with technical settings, and then it shows how to set up the development environment.This book is not only for technical people, but I would recommend each analyst/consultant to read at least the first half, to understand how the system works. What I value a lot is that the book points out the main differences between the versions, as things sometimes change from version to version.I definitely recommend it, the source of information is much better than even the official documentation!

Jose Penarrieta Mar 23, 2022

The book is well organized and we'll written. It is definitely a must for Odoo developers. I personally don't like the official Odoo documentation finding it incomplete and not updated, this book covers all the points missed by the official docs
