Overview of this book

Odoo continues to gain worldwide momentum as the best platform for open source ERP installations. Now, with Odoo 11, you have access to an improved GUI, performance optimization, integrated in-app purchase features, and a fast-growing community to help transform and modernize your business. With this practical guide, you will cover all the new features that Odoo 11 has to offer to build and customize business applications, focusing on the publicly available community edition. We begin with setting up a development environment, and as you make your way through the chapters, you will learn to build feature-rich business applications. With the aim of jump-starting your Odoo proficiency level, from no specific knowledge to application development readiness, you will develop your first Odoo application. We then move on to topics such as models and views, and understand how to use server APIs to add business logic, helping to lay a solid foundation for advanced topics. The book concludes with Odoo interactions and how to use the Odoo API from other programs, all of which will enable you to efficiently integrate applications with other external systems.

Summary


You should now have a good understanding of the essentials of website features. We have seen how to use web controllers and QWeb templates to render dynamic web pages. We then learned how to use the website addon and create our own pages for it. Finally, we introduced the website forms addon that helped us create a web form. These should provide us with the core skills needed to create website features.

Now that we have seen the essentials of developing the main Odoo components, its time to learn more about how to debug our Odoo programs and how to add automated tests to them. This is what we will discuss in the following chapter.
