Introduction

Now that we have a development environment and know how to manage Odoo server instances and databases, you can learn how to create Odoo addon modules.

Our main goal here is to understand how an addon module is structured and the typical incremental workflow to add components to it. The various components mentioned in the recipe names of this chapter will be covered extensively in subsequent chapters.

For this chapter, you are expected to have Odoo installed and also expected to follow the recipes in Chapter 1, Installing the Odoo Development Environment. You are also expected to be comfortable in discovering and installing extra addon modules, as described in
Chapter 2, Managing Odoo Server Instances.
