For the past 2 months now I have been trawling through the innerworkings of this e-commerce platform learning it as I go and this blog will cover the experiences I am having.  Topics covered will include development advice, strange bugs and hopefully some invaluble hints for those using Magento as a base for their website.

The project I am undertaking will cover core Magento code changes, custom module development, 3rd party API integration, multiple payment-gateway integration, development of custom themes and templates, integrating to Amazon S3 and EC2 and any other areas as small as adding a youtube video to as large as creating a whole new product type.

If I am able and if there is demand, the work I am doing will be provided as public (or possibly commercial) addons.  If not however, hopefully I will be able to save some of you some time in your own projects.
