Description

Hello! Welcome to the WordPress development course. This is the most comprehensive and effective course on WordPress development around. This is the only course you'll ever need to learn WordPress development. 

WordPress currently holds a majority of the market share on the web. WordPress is an absolute dominant force and its popularity continuously grows. One of the best things about WordPress is that it's easily extendable. There are thousands of plugins and themes available both free and premium.

In this course, I will teach you how to create your very own plugins and themes. This course was designed for those who truly want to master WordPress inside and out. There is no stone left unturned. This course will help make you into one of the most competitive WordPress developers out there. You will be able to develop custom plugins and themes no matter how hard the task is.

You can expect high-quality and fresh tutorials. This course uses the latest versions of software development including PHP (8.x), and MySQL/MariaDB (8.x) . 

Here is an overview of what you can expect to learn.

  • Take a static HTML template and convert it into a fully functioning WordPress theme. 

  • Write code that scales and learn the best practices for writing clean, efficient, secure, and reusable code. The WordPress coding standards are covered from PHP to JavaScript and CSS.

  • Properly take advantage of the template hierarchy system and create your own custom templates for more unique designs.

  • Build plugins that extend the core functionality of WordPress.

  • Develop custom post types for content that give you the flexibility to curate content you want to. Apply metadata to your content and display everything on the front end.

  • Learn about the various methods for creating your own custom admin forms and processing the data securely.

  • Other topics include licensing, translations, security, authentication, full-site editing, block development and so much more!

  • The APIs that are covered are the following: Database API, HTTP API, Metadata API, Options API, Plugins API, REST API, Rewrite API, and Settings API.

  • On top of everything, you will also learn how to create your very own Gutenberg blocks. Take advantage of the newest feature that comes bundled with WordPress 6!

  • Not confident with your React and JavaScript skills? That's completely fine! The skills required to build efficient and scalable Gutenberg blocks are covered in this course. You'll learn how to use Node, Webpack, Babel, and React

In a nutshell, we'll explore the various WordPress APIs and how they should be used. The developer documentation is filled with examples and each page is quite lengthy. WordPress development doesn't have to be hard to learn. The biggest mistake most coding tutorials make is expecting someone to learn simply by imitating others' code. Real-world situations are never exactly like the tutorial.

I believe the best way to learn is to understand how a tool works and what it does for you, look at examples, and then try it yourself. That's how this course is built, with the goal to help you both learn and understand WordPress.

Take the leap into Gutenberg Development

This course goes beyond the simple WordPress plugin development and WordPress theme development tutorials. You will learn how to create Gutenberg Blocks for WordPress as the back end. The CEO of WordPress, Matt Mullenweg, has urged developers to start learning JavaScript deeply. 

You will first learn the basics such as the command line and ES6. You will be caught up with the latest standards of JavaScript from modules to destructuring and so much more! Tools such as babel and webpack are also explored and implemented with our code. We will build a functioning WordPress Gutenberg block with React. 

Build components to separate your code. All this knowledge is right at your fingertips!

This course is perfect for anyone who wants to get started with WordPress development. It's straight to the point and goes into a lot of details that would have taken me hours if not days to learn on my own. The pace of the lectures are a little bit fast but for me it was perfect and I finished the course in a week. I have been doing back-end PHP programming for over 10 years and only recently started getting into WordPress. I now feel confident to take on any WordPress based project.
