Answer 1

The best resource I've found is the Alan Storm blog compilation (our fellow tribesman), which he calls Magento for PHP MVC developers . He explains in detail all the issues associated with the development of magenta.

I think you will also find this extension a great start: http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/Daniel+Nitz/extension/1108/modulecreator . You can trawl through the code that it creates to get a really good idea of ​​the key parts of the puzzle.

Also, check out the Magento sequence diagram to understand the important steps in the flow: http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/_detail/general/doc/page-request-flow.png?id=doc:magento-architecture&cache=cache
