My last post about Joomla! triggered some buzz in the twittersphere and prompted more discussion. Jen Kramer McKribben wrote to me that Maria Langer (lynda.com WordPress 2.7 Essential Training author) contacted her:
Maria Langer contacted me by Twitter and said she’d love it if you asked the same question about a WordPress course. Now I’m wondering if we couldn’t make this a more generic series of movies, suitable for Drupal, WordPress, and Joomla. They all have the same starting place for their customized templates/themes — a static HTML web page.
Tom Geller (lynda.com Drupal Essential Training author) has been coordinating a CMS Overview course that would explain the strengths and weaknesses of the different systems and help newcomers navigate which choice to make.
So, open question to you all – what are we missing in our various CMS courses?

Magento should be a must have tutorial! Your high valuable WordPress and Joomla courses will be perfectly complemented with this topic.
Please Please Please Magento
Magento and Oscommerce please. Also upgrade wordpress tutorial now 3.0 is available and you are into 2.7 which is more than 1 year old now.
Personally I’d like to see easy word press Documentation regarding creating custom themes, as there is a Growing market for these . . . and the current training out there is lacking in some of the basics regarding getting involved in this field.
I know there has got to be a easier way than had been sold through 2 vendors whom I purchased books through.
Magento please!
what are you waiting for magento?
$25 Billion
in transactions
60,000+
merchants
2,000+
extensions
2+ Million

I’ll reactivate my subscription once you release a tutorial for Magento. What’s taking so long anyways?
Obvious choice: Magento.
Magento Please! asap.
+1 for Magento
Magento please!
I’m a subscriber and would definitely add a vote for magento…
Magento please
I realize this post is a little old, but I’m putting a +1 for Magento. I would love to see a detailed tutorial on creating modules (ie, payment redirect module which helps developers make their sites PCI compliant)!
Hi Christopher,
Thanks for your input. Thank you all who have asked for Magento. It turned out to be a challenge to find the right author for this topic. As always, we intend to bring you the best possible training.
Once I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new feedback are added- checkbox and now each time a remark is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any means you can remove me from that service? Thanks!
Hi Cynthia,
I take it from your post that a Magento tutorial is planned? That would be absolutely amazing–lynda.com has excellent, excellent tutorials and Magento is notorious for its terrible (and often outdated) documentation. Please come out with it asap!
Hi, Yes please! Magento tutorials would be amazing!
MAGENTO – PLEASE
magento.
magento.
magento.
Magento
Hiya I saw a tweet from lynda.com that said there is a Magento Video in the works. Could we please get an ETA, thanks.
A magento Essential training and on building theme for magento would be so great. I’m waiting for it for a long time.
Magento and osCommerce please!
I have been user of lynda.com for years now and i would sat simon allidice do it well. His way of teaching is so good. I would love to see him do Magneto and php training (essential and beyond basic) including OOP. Have u guys asked simon for it if he is up for doing this course?
need magento training, i’m awaiting this for a long time, it will be surely very helpful to me…
yup, another vote for Magento. I’ll renew my subscription when you get it! Please let me know once you have it.
MAGENTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
One more vote for MAGENTO.
+1 for magneto!!! uhmmmm magento… (silly Xmen)
Would also vote for a good magento guide for Designers and Programmers.
Not a simple beginners guide on how magento interface works , but a jump into the framework with examples and exercises.
I am just starting to figure out the how and what .With a lynda course it would have surely taken me half the time.
Update: For all you folks looking for a lynda.com Magento course, we officially have Magento in our recording queue for release in 2012. We’ll keep you updated with course details as the release gets closer.
It is a real disapointment that you have absolutely nothing on Magento. An increasingly used CMS, having tutorials on this would be a majoy plus for Lynda.com.
when is magento in 2012 going to be released?
Hi Joe!
We’re looking at a Quarter One release for the Magneto course, so keep your eyes peeled for it between now and the beginning of April.
thank u lynda we wait magento course soon
hope to see magento training video course in my favorite website lynda.com
I have 6 years of experience in SEO and I have worked with several CMS systems, DotNetNuke, Joomla, Drupal, and others. My advice is that if you really need a boost in rankings, the best system to use is WordPress. So I would put all my efforts in learning that system. Also premium themes today are of great quality and sites look really professional.
Hey if you need an external quality check of the Magento training, I’d be glad to do it!
Hurry please – Lynda makes the best CBT training and I need to learn Magento! Thank you!
Still waiting for magento training. Been literally waiting years now. Fair enough your excuse a year ago was you couldn’t find the right author… but now you’ve had yet another year and still nothing.
i want to see as many tutorials for magento as there are for joomla… including things in the series as how to design magento css templates etc. The only training I’ve found so far is not in english, it’s in german and from video2brain
Really looking for to see Magento training. Sorry for being annoying, would the training be more likely available this month or the next?
Hi Pete!
We’re looking at a Quarter One release for the Magneto course, so keep your eyes peeled for it around the beginning of April.
Are you talking about this year? or 2013? Thanks.
Hi Cleve,
The Magneto course was on the schedule to be released in Quarter One of 2012, which, per my note above, would have made it available no later than April of this year. Unfortunately, we have encountered some unforeseen circumstances that have delayed the course production. The content managers do hear all of the demand being expressed in these comments and we are actively working to get the fulfillment of this course realized as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience!
Thank you Chelsea, I appreciate the response. I know a robust subject like Magento probably takes time to put a training course together. I have admired and used Lynda.com Training materials since you could only get them in DVDs from trade shows. I speak for a lot of people here when I say that the only reason we are so anxious about Lynda’s training is because we believe it will be the best training out-there. Thank again, cant wait until it is released.
Thanks for your kind words, Cleve. It’s always great to hear back from members who have been with us since the DVD days. We really do work hard to create the best training, and, again, I really do appreciate your patience.
I am adding my input to say that there are some eager folks over here looking forward to that course seeing the light of day.
Looking forward to the Magento release.
Magento still in the baker ?
Yes…. it is getting closer, though!
Really looking for to see Magento training
I am watching my RSS feed like a hawk looking for those magic words…. Magento Essential Training! I have been waiting two years for this one.
magento!
Well, so much for beginning of April.
Too bad Lynda is more concerned with software that hasn’t been released yet like Photoshop CS6.
wait magento
beginning of April
I ask some people. They very very need to training for CMS Mangento. I hove this course coming soon. I am waitting.
Magento!
go! Magento GO!
This will do wonders for Lynda as Magento is notoriously difficult yet widely used whereas WordPress is do-able without help (although appreciated of course).
Magento!
