Prove your expert status on Adobe Commerce

SwiftOtter is the de-facto source for Adobe certification and BigCommerce training. We have helped thousands of developers and merchant-facing people achieve certification.

Joseph started this initiative in 2018 with the simple goal of getting the brand-new Business Practitioner certification. His standard methodology was to review the small outline that Magento (at the time) provided. He added at least 10x of the content to ensure every stone was turned over. He wanted to help others as a community member, so he shared it. And thus began the journey.

Today, SwiftOtter is the largest provider of Adobe Commerce and BigCommerce training material—and we are proud to continue this investment.

Navigating GraphQL in Adobe Commerce

Navigating GraphQL in Adobe Commerce

GraphQL is here to stay as it powers the link between a frontend PWA and the backend (Adobe Commerce). Remember when the REST protocol seemed obtuse. GraphQL is even worse. But, that's only until you get into it. GraphQL makes perfect sense for the cases in which it was designed for.

Certification-Focused

We have long believed in having destinations for training. It's one thing to invest time in learning something new, but it's another thing to have something tangible to show for it. While you don't need to take the test at the end of these courses, you will be 100% prepared and ready to go.

Adobe Commerce Expert Javascript Developer (AD0-E705)

Adobe has merged this test into the Adobe Commerce Expert Frontend Developer (AD0-E710) exam. See our exam preparation here.

Adobe Commerce Professional Developer (AD0-E711)

As you see above, Adobe has dropped the Cloud and original Professional developer certifications into a combo exam. This happened in early December 2022.

Adobe Commerce Expert Developer (AD0-E708)

Where one goes, there goes more: the Expert developer received the same fate. This underscores Adobe's focus on its Cloud offering. Thus we adapt and push forward.

The book

Joseph is passionate about helping developers. He has written one book called The Art of Ecommerce Debugging. Who knows? Maybe more is coming?

The Art of Ecommerce Debugging

You have probably faced a nightmare situation. Management is breathing down your neck not understanding why you can't fix this problem. Maybe the problem isn't so urgent, but rather, it's a long-lasting bug that pops up here and there. Perhaps you have a #random problem. The list could be a mile long. This is the lot that we ecommerce developers face.

Joseph has over ten years of experience building great applications (along with some troubleshooting, too). He has fixed every type of problem—and in doing so, he developed a system that will avoid wasting time.
