Magento U - Summer Webinar Series
Introducing Magento's first-ever Summer Webinar Series
We've taken some of the topics we get questions on most often from users who are getting started with Magento and turned them into a series of tutorial webinars. Every week we'll offer these 45-minute online training sessions for free throughout the summer.
This is a "Getting Started" webinar series, which is designed for beginning Magento users to will walk you through how to use some of Magento's core eCommerce functionality. More experienced Magento users/adopters may also benefit, but you will probably already have encountered most of these concepts.
Sign up below by clicking on the session you'd like to attend. Sessions are 45 minutes of presentation with an additional 15 minutes at the end for questions. Enrollment is limited to allow for questions, so sign up early. Most sessions will be offered again in the fall as well.
