All of the Odoo-specific topics presented here will be covered in more depth in the remaining chapters of this book.
The official documentation offers some relevant resources that make good complementary reading:
- The Building a Module tutorial: https://www.odoo.com/documentation/12.0/howtos/backend.html
- The Odoo Guidelines provide a list of code conventions and guidelines for module development: https://www.odoo.com/documentation/12.0/reference/guidelines.html
- The Odoo Community Association Guidelines provide a good resource for Odoo development best practices: https://github.com/OCA/maintainer-tools/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md
Learning Python is important for Odoo development. There are some good Python books from the Packt catalogue, such as Learn Python Programming – Second Edition: https://www.packtpub.com/application-development/learn-python-programming-second-edition.
