Branko Ajzele

Branko Ajzele was born on January 16th, 1983 in Osijek, Croatia. His high school and faculty education was in the field of electro-technology. He graduated at Faculty of Electrical Engineering, in Osijek in 2006. Although not directly related to IT, during his faculty days he fell in love with web-related technologies. Throughout his career he initially worked full time as a Computer Consultant and later as a full time IT System Administrator. After that he got hooked on programming. He has spent over six years learning and developing both desktop and web applications in different programming environments such as C#, Java, and later in PHP. He is currently working as CTO / Magento Certified Developer Plus at a company called Inchoo. Inchoo specializes in building and delivering high quality e-commerce solutions mostly powered by Magento eCommerce platform. At Inchoo he gained over four years of everyday Magento development and e-commerce project management experience. Additionally he is highly experienced with Zend Framework, Doctrine ORM, Symfony, and PHP in general. Besides web technologies, his latest interests are mobile platforms such as Android and iOS.

I especially liked section "Catalog and Shopping Cart Price Rules", where this great feature of Magento is explained to make it work correctly.

I'd certainly recommend Instant E-Commerce with Magento: Build a Shop to anyone looking to create an ecommerce site.

Topics that might easily get too difficult to understand - scoping, Root Catalogs, product attributes and transactional emails - are dealt with step-by-step.
