Magento Development Documentation
To make any CMS useful it is necessary to maintain an official site. Because the proper documentation of CMS helps open source developers to understand the development environment properly. So, they can maximize the use of CMS and the options. So for the same reason, Magento CE user guide or in another word Magento devdocs is the official site for documentation.
Here open source developers can visit on regular basis for their Magento queries, support and updates etc. Hence we will discuss here the Magento documentation site and use of the site for maximum Magento opportunities.
By the way, the Magento CE user guide or Development Documentation is a source of different technical and coding instruments.
