About This Course
Develop Serious Web Sites with Wordpress
Perhaps you want to start creating professional web sites. Maybe you want to start a small freelance business or take control of your own business web site. Maybe your a designer dipping a toe in to the digital world. Or, perhaps, you just want to learn to develop complete sites in Wordpress the right way.
Whatever your reason if you want to learn the in's and out's of Wordpress, this course is for you.
This isn't a course that teaches you how to type content in to existing Wordpress themes! This program is designed to give you full command of the Wordpress environment so you can make dynamic web sites that look anyway you want and are easy to update and maintain. You're diving DEEP into Wordpress discussing theme development, mobile ready sites, templates and much, much more.
You'll work with Wordpress expert Mark Hannon as you develop your Wordpress skill set. This course launches quickly as you jump right into developing your own, unique, Wordpress theme. (No more boring, poorly executed templates!)
This isn't a course where you'll simply watch Mark go through the procedures. You'll be invited to work along with Mark step-by-step to make sure you remember and can apply every concept demonstrated. Speaking of hands on learning, the course is loaded with lab exercises and examples to help you immediately apply the skills that you're learning.
You will learn how to set up a Wordpress website on a local development server
You will learn about the parts of a Wordpress installation and what files you can modify
You will learn how to develop a simple custom theme and activate it

I installed Brackets as suggested and it gave me a "PHP runtime not found" error. I then installed a version of PHP (not shown in the video). That was probably a mistake because I then could not open PHPMYADMIN. I finally had to uninstall MAMP, Brackets, delete WP files, clear the recycle bin, reboot, and reinstall everything minus a separate version of PHP, and it started to work. I now seem to be working and can follow the course instructions.
