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.
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
