About the guest
Mark Shust
Founder and Teacher, M.academy
For over 20 years, I've worked as a web developer to help create hundreds of online shops. My expertise in PHP and other open-source libraries led me to the Magento ecosystem, where I've been able to renew my knowledge to become a specialist in the Magento framework. During this time, I've transitioned from programmer to architect positions, leading code review sessions and writing in-depth articles & technical documentation. Things have come full circle, and I now want to share what I've learned with rest of the world. The last few years of my professional life have been completely devoted to the development of rst-rate training materials for the Magento ecosystem. My developer training company, M.academy, now has over 32 hours of premium lessons, more than 9,000 enrolled students from all over the world, and over 600 actively enrolled University subscribers. My mission is to take everything I've learned over the years and make it as simple as possible to learn, until I have uncovered everything there is to know about Magento.
