AEM Learning Path

[extract from 8 BIT PLATOON Internal Wiki]

Before you begin, take note that a thorough understanding of Java is required.
First get a business-level overview of what AEM is:
- https://docs.adobe.com/content/docs/en/aem/6-2.html
- https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-2/deploy.html#What%20is%20AEM?
Before you get into too much Adobe Marketing fluff, understand what AEM really is:
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUleQHeBSgs [Programmer vs World - So you want to be an AEM developer]
Now come to grips with the underlying technologies in AEM:
- OSGi (With a focus on Felix)
  - Programmer vs World OSGi Tutorial Series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlf_Fk4pk-gigRWeoiSw0lsLyx97ICzQb
  - Read Jamie Goodyear's Book: Instant OSGi Starter
    - https://www.packtpub.com/application-development/instant-osgi-starter-instant
  - Understand and Build OSGi SCR services:
    - http://felix.apache.org/documentation/subprojects/apache-felix-maven-scr-plugin/scr-annotations.html
- JCR (Jackrabbit OAK)
- Sling
  - Setting up your sling development environment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sklauzjfO8w
  - Creating a new project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_E-AVifg8dc
  - http://www.xicojunior.com
- Sightly (Now called HTL)
Build your own website using Sling and Sightly, don't worry about AEM yet
