Magento Unveils Specifications of Magento 2

With the growing vitality of eCommerce, open source ecommerce web applications like Magento have become fundamental elements of retail sales strategies. The 3-day Magento conference ‘Imagine 2012’ which was held in Las Vegas was a tremendous success with Magento developers from all around the globe attending and participating in various forums present.

Imagine 2012 Initiated with BarCamp

BarCamp was the first sub conference which was held within the Imagine 2012 conference. Hundreds of Magento developers and programmers were present here discussing key themes focusing on Magento 2, Magento Connect and the X.commerce framework. Sessions were led by both members of the Magento and X.commerce team, as well as members of the community.

Magento 2

The Magento 2 project which has been under development at a regulated pace is said to be available in the market by the later part of this year. The Magento 2 development team has promised its Magento programmers and Magento commerce developers that there will be constant updates and refreshing information about the developments in periodic stretches which will inform them of progress, process, technical architecture and strategy as well as many other facets that involve this important project and milestone for the Magento community.

Basic Issues Addressed

Majority of Magento commerce programmers’ woes regarding the existing version of Magento is expected to be addressed in the Magento 2 version. The clarity and the transparency details seems to have been enhanced in such a way that the back end working is easily accessible while working on the User Interface during the process of developing for the Magento developer. The glitches which aroused due to the insufficient features to check the back end is believed to condense drastically.

The compatibility with versatile platforms has said to be tackled in Magento 2. Magento developers might use Magento 2 on various machines to their comfort unlike previously when the support provided by Magento was not that heavily broad. The scalability of the product is mentioned to be improved on an exponential extent. The programmers developing Magento 2 have informed that the efficiency of the application intensifies along with the data being input. Issues arising due to lack of scalability of the application are expected to get eradicated.

Enhanced Security

With the increasing levels of threats on sensitive information of various Business firms and associates, the need for stringent security measures has risen too. The following regulations are said to be looked upon with significant care. Magento must not be affected by any vulnerability from the current OWASP Top 10 Web Vulnerabilities list. All input from the client or environment must be properly validated on the server side. All input from the client or environment must conform to established parameters of business rules on the server side.

Modularity of Magento Re-Defined

To make the application more defined by separating the responsibilities and functionality the yet to release Magento 2 has been developed in a further modular fashion. The maintainability of the application will be more undemanding once it is developed as apparent modules.

To make sure it is developed in that way each module must have a defined and documented API so that the interaction between each component within the application happens without any anomalies. Independent modules must not have logical dependencies so that inconsistencies do not arise. If certain constraints which are redundant to a part of the application becomes indispensable to another part of the same application then inconsistencies and contradictories arise. This has to be dodged efficiently. When working with modules it has to be made sure that the necessary modules for the system to work properly are present and removing a single module does not initiate a bug or an error.

With such radical updates Magento 2 is believed to attain an indispensable position amongst eCommerce Application developers.
