Recently, I’ve had a good chance to consolidate my own Sitecore knowledge / experience by participating in an official eLearning course Building Solutions using Sitecore® Helix 9.2 of Sitecore. In my opinion, it’s quite helpful to understand Sitecore Helix practices.

You want to know how to implement the website(s) on Sitecore Experience Platform and following Helix practices. If that is the case, you should set up Habitat on your machine so that you’re able to play around with the Sitecore solution example.

You should know that Sitecore Helix specifies recommended conventions for Sitecore development, while Habitat is an example of an implementation following Helix practices so just a friendly reminder: Habitat is NOT a starter kit for your own Sitecore solution.
