The book is well worth the purchase and still relevant as it discusses the more intricates of 'under the hood' workings of modx rather than specifically 'click here, click there' type of thing. It's also extremely comprehensive so you won't regret it.

I also have a few start tutorials on youtube you could check out

Hello Michalis,

Welcome to the MODX forums.

Bob Ray wrote a great book, which although a few years old now is still relevant: https://bobsguides.com/my-modx-book.html

Bob's website is also a great source of information. Bob is very active on these forums and has helped many of us out with both beginners and advanced questions: https://bobsguides.com/

Helen Warner and others put this useful resource together: http://www.discovermodx.com/discover-modx.html

Mark Hamstra has many useful articles: https://www.markhamstra.com/modx/

Sepia River have some useful information: https://sepiariver.com/modx/modx-how-tos/

The official documentation is always being worked on, but there is still much to do: https://docs.modx.com/

The thing that has kept me using MODX is that the forums are so friendly and helpful.

hello guys!
so how do I go about learning this software, like a modx for dummies kind of thing?

Hello,
I believe the best way is practice only. Not only but many other MODX devs before have gone this way. Now a group of enthusiasts is preparing updated documentation and all the forces are thrown on the MODX 3 version, please be patient.

Btw the other possible way how to jump rapidly into MODX(as for me) is to help us with testing issues here: https://github.com/modxcms/revolution/issues, please let me know if it may be interesting for you.

Regards,
Anton
