Description

Do you want to learn Liquid programming so that you can customize or understand the codes of your Shopify theme? If yes, then you have come to the right place!


Welcome to the Shopify Liquid Programming course! In this course, my goal is to help you understand what is Liquid like what it does, and how to use it.


We’re going to cover the following features of Liquid:

  • Objects - Getting values from Shopify, and making our own

  • Tags - Making loops, conditional statements and getting templates/sections

  • Filters - Changing returned values

If you are a Shopify store owner and want to understand how a Shopify store is running, then learning Liquid can be extremely helpful.


Why Take This Course?

One of the biggest mistakes that people make is that they customize their Shopify theme aimlessly. What they usually do is Google the features that they’re looking for, then they will copy a code from someone else and apply it to their Shopify store without understanding the code that they copied and pasted. This can be a BIG issue since Shopify themes are vulnerable to code injections.


That’s why I’m here to help you avoid making that mistake!


Before Taking This Course

Now, what are the things that you need to know before taking this course? To get the best experience out of this course, it’s highly recommended that you know how to use Shopify. Meaning, you should know your way around Shopify from admin, to the settings, and to the storefront.


Next, you must know at least the basics of programming (Like the operators, or data types). Though I will do my best to explain what is going on in each lesson so that even if you have less programming knowledge, you’ll be able to understand the code. In addition, for each lesson, I will provide resources related to the lessons (e.g. PDFs or articles) so that you can use those resources to learn more about Liquid.


Another thing that you can do is post questions in the QnA section. So if you have questions, you can post them in the QnA. I will also include in this course, quizzes or questionnaires so that you can test yourself if you can finally use Liquid.


So are you ready to learn Liquid? If yes, join me and I will see you on the other side.
