Odoo's layered module approach makes it particularly effective for combining and extending features. This updated fifth edition is a tutorial-style introduction to essential Odoo development topics.

The book starts by covering the development essentials for building business applications and takes you through Odoo installation and configuration, gradually transitioning from having no specific knowledge of Odoo to being ready for application development. You'll then learn how to develop your first Odoo application, while covering topics such as models and views. Later chapters will get you up to speed with using server APIs to add business logic, helping you lay a solid foundation for advanced topics. As you progress, you'll get equipped to build and customize your applications and explore the new features available in Odoo 12 and beyond, such as in-memory ORM and computed writable fields. Finally, you'll gain insights into building business logic and using the Odoo API to integrate with various applications.

By the end of this book, you'll be able to build business apps from scratch using the latest version of Odoo.

My company wanted me to study odoo implementation for our upcoming projects a month ago. I have chosen this book from the beginning and I have been reading slowly. I also have gone through the official developer documentation and references. Additionally, I have been provided the Odoo technical training course a few days ago by my company. Among all those resources, I found all the answers to my own deep asked questions and confusions from this book. It has examples and explanations, to support code examples logic and boiled down the complex jargons that you find in odoo doc into an easy and understandable descriptive content. Thanks to the author. :)

This book is a savior from Odoo's horrific official docs.
I recommend it for everyone starting to work on Odoo.
