WordPress: Learn By Coding
If you're looking to code custom WordPress themes and plugins, this book will help you get started. The WordPress documentation is pretty good and there are lots of tutorials available on the Internet, but it can be useful to go step by step using the latest version of WordPress (5.x).
That's what this book provides you. We build a simple theme from scratch, use a starter theme to get a head start, and then code a couple basic plugins.
You will learn about:
- installing WordPress
- the template hierarchy
- headers and footers
- PHP basics
- the WordPress loop
- adding CSS and JavaScript
- using starter themes
- hooks
- plugins
- shortcodes
- and more!
The source code per chapter is available in a GitHub repository so you can use that to save time as you learn WordPress development.

Excellent Starting Point for Beginners
This book is an excellent starting point for beginners who want to learn to create the code for their own WordPress Themes, or to modify those created by others.
My only regret is that it did not go on to more complicated development tasks. The teaching style is simple, straightforward, and structured to give you all the basics to get started.
