Hi Lamis I'm sorry your company is forcing you to do stuff in two weeks that we others have learned in several years! I do believe that this can be frustrating. But be assured: We all have been banging our heads against the desk out of desperation one or two times before ;-)
My suggestion to you (other than going to the Magnolia training a some later point in your journey) would be to take one step after the other. - First get yourself acquainted with Java (do some hello world examples, get familiar with your IDE). - Then move on to servlets (again you'll find some hello world examples and you get to know Tomcat). Find out how to connect your IDE to Tomcat. - Then have a look at the excellent Freemarker documentation (skip JSP since you won't be using that for Magnolia). - After this you should be able to do custom templates with the aid of the magnolia documentation. - And finally you can put your Java know-how to use by writing custom functionality for your templates. By that time many of the concepts in the documentation should not be too confusing to you anymore… and if they still are, ask good, specific questions here on this list. Good luck! -will P.S.: I would hate having to move to PHP in two weeks!
