Hello,

I am new to Open Edx and like to know as a developer trying to implement and customize  Open Edx.  Is it worth it the expense to go to the 2019 Conference?

Also would like to know where can I find technical documentation, for example what classes and functions are en-charge of enrollment or what functions are en-charge of listing course information etc...

Hi,

If you're new to Open edX development, I think the first day will be especially useful - that's when we'll have the in-depth tutorials and workshops, much of which will be focused on developement as well as devops. 

There will be interesting stuff in the main conference, too - for developers, you'll learn about new integrations, product direction, and there will be a developer summit on the last day, all about collaborating on current works in progress. 

I'm biased, but I think it's a good event to attend :)

As for technical documentation - I assume you've seen what's available on readthedocs.orghttp://docs.edx.org/

I have found it worthwhile myself. If you'd like to see what last year's conference was like, here's the schedule:

The documentation for edX is very good at the student and course creator level, but not good for someone trying to work with the code. I find myself doing a lot of searching when I dig through the source.

Colin, are last year conference sessions published anywhere?

Hi All,
         I want to know where is data stored in database that user has been started courses after enrolled. I am unable to find that table.


Thanks & Regards
