Alexandre has been working on Odoo at Camptocamp since 2012 and is a contributor to the Odoo Community Association, where he was a member of the Board until last year. He co-authored the first two editions of the Odoo Development Cookbook (Pack Publication).

At Camptocamp, he works as a software architect for projects in France and coordinates the development team.


There are a number of patterns commonly found in Odoo module development. Old-time developers know them, even if they do not consciously apply them as patterns. There are also many anti-patterns that can lead to inefficient and even, sometimes, insecure code. 

These are also known by old-time Odoo developers and normally only discussed in the dim-lit backrooms of a few Belgian bars close to the Odoo Experience conference center, among a handful of grizzled developers.

 
This year no more, and youngsters will get a chance to access this precious knowledge.

Key learnings:

After attending this talk, you will learn how to structure business models to avoid performance and security issues, ease extensibility, and avoid being flagged as a noob by code reviewers.

Target audience:

Odoo module developers with some experience in the framework, but beginners are welcome too. Prior knowledge of module development is expected.

Added value for the target audience:

  • Write better-structured models.
  • Gain some insights about things you may be doing wrong.
  • Make your code easier to extend. 
  • Earn respect from your colleagues who were not lucky enough to attend the conference.
