I'm starting a job soon where I will be dealing with PHP solutions and Magento , I have looked through the Magento wiki etc and played around with an install for it .
But im still quite confused by how it works. Especially the MVC side of things (most of my PHP experience comes from working with wordpress).
I would like to know if anyone has got any good resources or books etc for learning Magento .... the only alternative for me is to attend a certification course which is expensive at over 1000 $....
