A friend of mine has an eCommerce company of ~30 people. They're now collaborating with an Odoo Partner to implement Odoo as their ERP. He wants me to become their Odoo Developer and Maintainer in the future. He wants me to not just know how to code, but also understand the parts the business is running. From where should I start learning?
