Furthering your Learning
The Couch to WP Pro Advanced Series will commence soon, but in the mean time check out the following!
Our focus is on helping you build your first theme, so we’re going to keep publishing articles and tutorials to help you on your way. Most relevant will be the category WP Elements, where we’ll cover the various parts of a WordPress theme, footers, widgets, headers, you name it. We’ll also be including tutorials on functions, customizing your themes, and how to add in custom theme options.
Further to this, there’s Tips & Tricks. The objective is to provide ways you can become a faster, more capable developer, through ways to better your coding, and to speed it up without compromising quality.
If you have any suggestions on what you’d like to see, please feel free to contact us, I’d love to hear from you.
