Magento is an open source, enterprise-class eCommerce platform with 100,000+ merchants using it worldwide. More than a 1,000 Magento stores come online every day! These merchants depend heavily on the ecosystem of third-party developers, such as you, to build Magento implementations, customizations, and extensions. The successful developers in Magento's vibrant ecosystem have a strong knowledge of the Magento platform as well as eCommerce. Check out Magento to learn more about the platform.
