For the developer who is transferring from M1 to M2, they should go through all 6
UNITS of the Fundamental of Magento 2 course by Magento U.
M2 is more complex than M1 so some re-learning of some items will be necessary.
In some cases it maybe easier to learn M2 as a new developer but with a strong
PHP/oops background
