Description
Unlock the full power of WordPress and go
beyond "just a blog platform" by learning how to code completely

Updated for 2019: A new 3 part lesson on coding our own
custom block type for the new "Gutenberg" Block Editor in
WordPress.
I've spent the last 12 years studying WordPress, PHP,
and JavaScript and now I'm here to teach you everything I
know. Come along on this journey with me and become a WordPress
developer.
Together we will build a website for a
fictional university and along the way we will:
- Install WordPress on your
personal computer so you have a private playground copy of WordPress to
practice and experiment with
- Get introduced to the PHP language
(this is what powers WordPress)
- Set Up a New Theme (You'll
learn how to convert any HTML template into a living breathing
WordPress theme)
- Create Custom Post Types and
Custom Fields
- Relate pieces of content with
each other (e.g. a professor and a program)
- Learn the basics of
(object-oriented) JavaScript
- Leverage the WP REST
API
- Learn to use JavaScript to
communicate with the WordPress back-end on-the-fly
- Let visitors sign up for a
basic account on our site
- Build a "My Notes"
feature (user specific single page application with real-time CRUD
actions)
- Let users "like" or
"heart" a professor (update the professor's like count
on-the-fly)
- Deploy our website live
up onto the web for the entire world to view
- And much more!
This course may be brand new, but this isn’t
my first time teaching. I’ve led training sessions for Fortune 500 companies
and I’ve already helped over 17,000 people on Udemy and received the following
feedback:
"Brad definitely has some of the best
techniques to embed the lesson into your mind… hands down these are the best
tutorials I have had the opportunity to view."
"Presentation is concise without being
tedious… you honestly feel that you have a thorough understanding of the
subject."
"…[Brad] explained the process. Not
memorize this or that, he explained the process. If you're looking to take a
course to understand the foundations of creating websites, look no
further."
Become highly valuable and relevant to the
companies that are hiring WordPress developers; in one convenient place
alongside one instructor. If you're ready to begin coding custom websites -
I'll see you on the inside!
