Stubotime "stubo" (glasgow) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Build Your Own Wicked WordPress Themes (Paperback)

I'm still working my way through this book. I have good html and css skills and I also teach photoshop so I was pleased early on in the book to find that most developers use photoshop to create a look for their theme. The book shows all sort of pretty themes designed in photoshop but does not explain the method used or how once having created a theme in photoshop how to apply it easily to your framework. I'd disagree that this is a book for beginers, beginers should download a pre-pressed theme and save themselves alot of trouble.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's not that easy., 9 Nov 2010

J. Bloodworth "Artyfact" (Peterborough, UK.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Build Your Own Wicked WordPress Themes (Paperback)

Having looked online for tutorials and the like I was delighted when I finally found this book.

It slowly dawned on me as I read through the book that it was not as easy as it sounds, with the reader needing to know various programming languages, such as html, MySQL and PHP to work with the Wordpress coding snippits.

For someone who is technologically savvy in those languages, it is a very worthwhile purchase and probably will have you creating Wicked Wordpress Themes, but for someone such as myself, I think that it will be a while before this book has anything deeper than hope to offer as I am not yet at a level to completely understand all of the aspects covered.

3.0 out of 5 stars ok-ish, 24 Jan 2012

J - See all my reviews

This review is from: Build Your Own Wicked WordPress Themes (Paperback)

ok-ish but it's not quite from scratch Here is how to build this site step by step using these techniques sort of thing. It uses alternative content than the default wordpress themes/pages for examples so you can get a bit lost if you just want to step into one chapter to see how something should work. I have a wordpress web design for dummies which is much better, but at the time of writing this, i have not seen a more advanced one from the same author or range to progress onto.
i now have 3 wordpress books though & they still don't really contain everything you'd expect. google is my teaching friend as always.
