I've been developing web applications since last 10 years and have learned everything on my own. This journey was really challenging but exciting. I have equal exposure to both Server-side development (LAMP) and Front-end development (HTML, JS, CSS, Jquery, AngularJS etc...).So far I've been providing occasional training to corporates and it was the only way to share my experiance with...

I am very to have done this course. Yes it certainly helped me to become confident in terms of designing a WordPress theme. I was all along thinking of only downloading a WP theme and designing a site. Now I am confident of starting to build a theme by myself and maybe one day I will be able to sell it and make money in the market place. Thanks a lot for the course instructor who is good in explaining the concepts lucidly. Thanks Udemy.

Perfect course for who wants to learn real WordPress. I really liked the no-plugin approach since it gives me greater amount of control over theme. Ajax and Form section is awesome.

The project in those looks 100% real.

The course is only OK to get basic understanding of a WP theme concepts and development. However, it's too basic for those who already has some knowledge about WP. It also could mislead newbies, because today developing WP themes from scratch is not a good practice: one should use frameworks, such as Underscores and Unyson. So don't try this at home! :)

Partly my fault: I bought this course because the description looked interesting. I didn't watch the sales video (my fault, but I never do) and waited more than 30 days before I started watching.

English is not my native language, nor is it the instructors... and our interpretation of the English language differs that much, that I really didn't understand a word he's saying. It even took me time to realize it was actually English.

The lessons are quite profound, but the instructor's pace is very fast when switching from the text editor to Wordpress C-panel and vice versa. And because the video presentation is of poor quality, I give only three and a half stars.

The video is dry and the instructor's voice is monotone. The material could be more interesting.
