Answer 1

As a developer you can start at http://dev.day.com. CQ is now called as AEM (Adobe Experience Manager).

Technology Stack which makes up CQ:

1. Sling - the MVC framework (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SLING/Index)
2. JCR / Jackrabbit
3. OSGi

Google around this and you should be able to get a lot of resources.

Thanks

EDIT :

you can go through helpx adobe site, from where you can go through small example projects. For example: Creating your first Adobe Experience Manager Touch UI component.

It tells you from scratch with step by step guidance and also has zip folder, which you can directly download and upload the package in the crx/de to see what is happening. :)

Thank you for letting me know the technology stack beneath the CQ. I will go through these technologies. I would appreciate if you could point me to any sample / example projects . – Oblation

Hi @Sri, You do need to have a CQ / AEM binary with you to play around it, which is licensed. However if you already have one, further details on developments - component/template details, conventions, articles, videos are available at ACS AEM Commons and AEM Casts. Thanks. – Deckhand

Answer 6

There are 2 ways to start developing with Adobe AEM :

1. Use cqblueprints maven archetype
2. Native adobe maven archetype

Those 2 ways differ only in module structure, but used plugins are the same.

BTW: Adobe AEM 6.0 has migrated to Jackrabbit Oak-based CRX 3 repository introduction to OAK
