Resources to learn SuiteCRM?


I am a developer who has no experience working with CRM systems. I want to build a simple system using SuiteCRM. But I can't find a single tutorial for SuiteCRM in the internet. Believe me I spent several days searching for tutorials but I couldn't find. The official Userguides documentation is absolutely useless for development purposes. I found this book SuiteCRM For Developers but it is not suitable for a beginner. And it doesn't cover most of the basic stuff. Please suggest me a good tutorial(document/video) which covers topics such as creating custom entities(operations with custom entities), workflows and REST api.


Solution

  • Welcome to world of CRM !!

    First learn the flow of modules which are available in CRM and then go ahead with the development part. So I will suggest you to learn SugarCRM first. As coding standards and execution flow of SuiteCRM and SugarCRM is same.

    • Download SugarCRM CE
    • Install the CRM in your machine as described here
    • Once installed play with modules. Getting_Started SugarCRM

    • Take an overview on admin features of SugarCRM as described in detail here

    • Try to create new modules as per described here
