The ThemeShaper WordPress Theme Tutorial: 2nd Edition

October 23rd, 2012

Back in June 2009, Ian Stewart wrote a fantastic tutorial called How To Create a WordPress Theme: The Ultimate WordPress Theme Tutorial. This tutorial proved very popular and useful for so many developers. So popular in fact, that a second edition has now just been launched. This tutorial consists on one lesson each day and uses Automattic’s Underscores (_s) as the starter theme.

If you’ve ever wanted to develop themes like an Automattician, now is your chance. Today’s first lesson entitled Develop Theme Sense covers what you need to know about WordPress themes and it’s file structure. It’s easier than you think and with the Automattic team behind you, it’s the perfect tutorial for anyone wanting to learn about theme building.

WordPress Resources by Code Poet

May 21st, 2012

This weekend at WordCamp Seattle, I was pleased to hear that Automattic has revamped their Code Poet website. What used to be a directory of top-notched WordPress developers, is now a resources for anyone who uses WordPress to make websites.

There are loads of tutorials and WordPress how-to out there. Do we really need another? The difference with Code Poet, is that all the resources found here are written, published or recommended by Automatticians. So you can be sure that it’s the best info.

I myself had a lot of fun last night taking the WordPress quiz. I failed to get the Master ranking, but Expert is pretty good. I’ll have to review those questions I missed.

But before that, I’ll be reviewed one of their first eBooks, “Getting Pricing Right“.

Oh and in case you were wondering, yes, it’s all FREE.
