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.

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.

I bought this book thinking I could start creating Wordpress themes in no time. The book starts off with very good explanations and colour photos of Wordpress sites. I started to feel quite confident that I could create a Wordpress theme then BAM! Or should I say PHP!
The explanations suddenly become very complex very quickly and I started becoming disillusioned about the possibility of creating a theme. If you do not understand PHP it's really a lost cause.
I would suggest using a Wordpress Framework to create editable Wordpress sites.
