Book Description:
Odoo is fast becoming the reference open source platform for business
applications thanks to the fact that it provides the infrastructure
needed for developers to deliver software solutions for any business
process quickly. Odoo's layered module approach makes it particularly
effective for combining and extending features. This updated fifth
edition is a tutorial-style introduction to essential Odoo development
topics.
The book starts by covering the development essentials for building
business applications and takes you through Odoo installation and
configuration, gradually transitioning from having no specific knowledge
of Odoo to being ready for application development. You'll then learn
how to develop your first Odoo application, while covering topics such
as models and views. Later chapters will get you up to speed with using
server APIs to add business logic, helping you lay a solid foundation
for advanced topics. As you progress, you'll get equipped to build and
customize your applications and explore the new features available in
Odoo 12 and beyond, such as in-memory ORM and computed writable fields.
Finally, you'll gain insights into building business logic and using the
Odoo API to integrate with various applications.
By the end of this book, you'll be able to build business apps from
scratch using the latest version of Odoo.
