What happens if an Early Access Course is cancelled?

Projects are rarely cancelled, but sometimes it's unavoidable. If an Early Access course is cancelled or excessively delayed, you can exchange your purchase for another course. For further details, please contact us here.

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title?

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date?

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready?

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access?

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

How do I buy Early Access content?

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access?

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.

I post this review after only an initial read and skim. The book doesn't require performing all the step-by-step exercises on an installation of Odoo, but doing so would surely contribute to understanding the material (and trying out related points beyond the book's specifics). I have not done those exercises yet, so can't speak to their detailed accuracy, but since this book has no reviews yet, and books specific to a software version have a short shelf life, I thought I'd post a preliminary review about a crucial aspect of this one.In the past I've found Packt books rather consistently disappointing, shoddy and sometimes outright terrible. Page after page of significant technical and factual errors, incomprehensibly vague word-salad sentences, language translations that looked like they came direct from google translate with no editing, and so on.I want to assure prospective purchasers that this book has none of that. It's written in clear, precise English, for which I commend the author and editors.You can judge from "Look Inside" whether it covers the topics you want to know, and I'll add that in each of those chapters the narrative covers the material in a coherent and comprehensible manner, each topic building to the next. The author goes to some length in sidebar hints and tips to thoughtfully anticipate related points you'll want to know, and also to highlight differences from previous versions.In short, if you have had a previous negative experience with Packt books, you can relax your skepticism for this one.If I have a criticism it would be that while the book has numerous helpful screenshots (of a readable size and competently printed!), it almost completely lacks diagrams; some E-R (or UML) diagrams would have been very useful to further illuminate the models and relationships between them that the narrative discusses. However, this is a shortcoming not at all unique to this book . I would also have liked the book to cover structure and customization of particular modules, such as inventory/products and eCommerce. I suspect that kind of coverage was deliberately outside the scope of the current book, but it would make for a very useful second book, or companion material.That said, "well done" author and team, and I hope that Packt continues with this quality level and better.

Even you are an Expert or not, I recommend this book. It's imposible to remember all the development tricks. This is a book that will use many times to have a it as a reinforcement. Love it, proud of having it.

Daniel's book solves a huge problem in the Odoo community-- Documentation. Odoo is the greatest platform most have not heard of, and in part, it is due to the lack of books like this. Daniel's efforts in this and other books have made a tremendous difference for a lot of people.

Muchas mejoras en la organización del libro respecto a las precedentes. Incorpora avisos muy útiles sobre las novedades de la versión 12 sin perder de vista las versiones anteriores soportadas por Odoo. Esta edición no es un copia y pega de las anteriores. Ha sido cuidadosamente re elaborada y cubre casi todos los aspectos esenciales para el desarrollador novel (y no tan novel) en Odoo. Libro que merece la compra de las dos ediciones (kindle e impresa) para tener la obra siempre a mano. Felicidades al autor.
