Developer roadmap

This topic introduces the high-level workflow for a developer who wants to create, customize, or contribute to the Magento code and components.

Developer Resources

There are several resources that you might want to take a look at as you consider your workflow:

See the Sample extensions created by the Magento 2 Core team.
Magento 2 Developers Hub, at magento.com/developers/magento2.
The Magento 2 Documentation Library, with Guides such as Coding Standards, Frontend Developers Guide, Installation and Configuration, and other documents about issues like our backwards compatibility policy, versioning, and using Magento APIs.

Workflow and related decisions

Now let鈥檚 take a look at a high-level workflow, and consider some questions that you might have to decide before continuing.

Developer's roadmap

Take a look at a sample module created by the Magento Core Team.

The Magento core team is creating a collection of samples to demonstrate technologies introduced in Magento 2. You can edit your Magento 2 composer.json file to declare a dependency upon this package of sample modules, and then run composer update to download them. Look for more sample modules as we build them.
