Take a look at this page and all of the pages under it:

http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBIZ/OFBiz+Beginner%27s+Development+Guide+Using+Practice+Application

It will help to come up with the most basic knowledge of OFBiz
application development process

This is a good list, but perhaps a few changes could improve it:

1. in #5 and #6 use the trunk instead of the 2 year old release4.0  
branch; you're overall experience will be much better, and you'll be  
able to collaborate much more effectively with others in the community

2. in #7 please be careful of the documents from opensourcestrategies:  
they have forked from OFBiz and have different recommendations for  
tools and best practices

There is also a book (based on release 4.0 but for basics it's OK)

After you know the basic structure I recommend that you start with the

http://localhost:8080/ecommerce/control/main

or the corresponding page on

http://demo.hotwaxmedia.com/ecommerce

Right click in your browser and view the source of the web page that is
generated.

Also, start with the main request in the controller file in the ecommerce
component and work your way through the site.  Create a dummy order and go
through the oder process and at each step refer to the screens and code that
are referenced.

Doing this will help you the most in my opinion.
