hi, Based on my experience which is not much so far. 1)Start my installing ofbiz http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBADMIN/Demo+and+Test+Setup+Guide Make sure your JAVA_HOME environment variable is set to Java JDK. You will have to get the source using a svn tool or you could download a build directly from http://build.hotwaxmedia.com/
2)Use eclipse as IDE definitely helps in searching and modifying files. Use the xml plugin. http://xmlbuddy.com/2.0/licensed.html Unzip the file in your eclipse plugin folder. 3)Download and watch the training videos (1 to 9) http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBTECH/Framework+Introduction+Videos+and+Diagrams 4)Start with Si Chens hello 1-3 tutorials. http://www.opensourcestrategies.com/ofbiz/tutorials.php I had trouble getting them to work but figuring out the problem has helped me understand some of the concepts. Let me know if anyone has problems with the tutorials and I will be glad to send the working versions I have. 5)It would be a good if you understand the concepts like 1 to 1, 1 to Many and Many to Many relationships. If not you should definitely familiarize your self before you start building your own applications. 6)Try modifying existing application or create your new examples. Post your doubts here on [email protected] and hope someone will answer your question and not send you general wiki links or ask you to read a bunch of documentation. Good luck. -Milind > hello,I am new to OFBiz, Please give me some pointer to move on further > for development in OFBiz.Thanks--Sneha > > >
