Hi,

To get good at Odoo OWL development, you need a solid foundation in both frontend and backend. OWL is Odoo’s modern JavaScript framework for building interactive UIs, similar to React or Vue, but tightly connected to Odoo’s backend. Before diving in, make sure you’re comfortable with frontend basics, understand how Odoo’s web client works, and know enough backend to link your components to the server via RPC.

Here are the core skills to focus on:

1 - Core JavaScript (ES6+)

2 - HTML, CSS, and UI building

3 - OWL concepts like components, state, hooks, and templating

4 - Odoo-specific frontend tools (useService, useBus, patching)

5 - Basic Python and Odoo backend concepts for RPC integration

You can refer below listed documentation to know more about owl -

Hope it helps

To get started with Odoo OWL development, a strong foundation in JavaScript (ES6+) is essential, as OWL is a reactive framework inspired by Vue.js and React. While knowledge of Vue or React isn't required, understanding their component-based structure helps in mastering OWL concepts like state management, lifecycle hooks, and template rendering. jQuery is mostly obsolete in modern Odoo development, and TypeScript is optional but beneficial for structuring large applications. Additionally, familiarity with Odoo’s backend (RPC, models) and XML for templating will be crucial for seamless integration
