What are some good books/videos on opencart?
I do some website development.
I have experience in design, layout and installation on CMS.
I do this business on wordpress and woocomerce, but I want to master a normal CMS for online stores and catalogs.
Strongly deep functionality is not required, but I am looking for books or videos where there will be a sensible stretch of the html template on opencart with an explanation of how the modules work and how they interact.
Googling gives either a very basic level, or complete nonsense.

You won't believe it, php.net
And the point is not even that you don't need literature on Opencart, but that understanding how they work:
- base
- objects
- mvc
- template engine
You can write whatever you want on OC.
If you climb into the database, then the table names will tell you what lies there. For each table name, you can ask the search engine - not always, but you can get the answer
. Objects will have to be known, this is not at all difficult.
Opencart's MVC is not bad, but templates violate all possible rules, so you can only work with it by changing a ready-made template to write your own - you can eat your brains, because 90% of all actions in the algorithm occur according to a hard-coded scenario. If you start to change, you will catch something.
The stretch is +/- the same everywhere: either they use a template engine (smarty) or just a loop in PHP, as in opencart. Open the default theme and see how it works. OpenCart works like MVC , i.e. in the catalog/model folder - the data model is formed, in the catalog/controller folder - data manipulations from the model, and in catalog/view - their appearance.
