Hello!

A few years ago I launched a class about WordPress theme development that is still a great success today: Advanced WordPress Theme Development with Bootstrap 4.

For some time now I have been receiving requests from students to update some lessons. But I did more than that! I am very pleased to announce that the class has been totally redesigned and is now in its 2.0 version! It will be available on Skillshare next week with a new name: WordPress Theme Development from Scratch 2.0.

In this new class, you will have instant access to:

Over 10 hours of video content (66 lessons)
Downloadable resources for all lessons
Top-notch support from an instructor who truly cares about you (one of the fastest responders on Skillshare)
A skill that will help you launch a new phase in your career

No hiding anything! In an extremely didactic way, as is usual in my classes! Ask around...

The class is divided into two parts. The first with 5 sections, in which we will create the WordPress theme from scratch until the end. We will talk about topics such as:

WordPress installation using Local and/or Docker. Yes, we stopped using Xampp for everyone's sake and included Local (the favorite installation tool for WordPress devs at the moment) and Docker;
template hierarchy, enqueueing of scripts and stylesheets;
menu creation, including responsive menus just using CSS, HTML and Javascript. Yes, at last, now the theme will no longer depend on any plugin to work;
the WordPress loop, both the default loop and the custom loop (using the WP_Query class);
inclusion of several types of theme_support;
widget areas, permalinks, the main template files, the various types of pagination;
template parts and conditional tags (another new subject);
the powerful Theme Customizer;
theme translation and security. Yes, I've included lessons about security in WordPress themes (!);
site migration from the local server to a remote server.

And, in a second moment, a bonus section with some complementary subjects, which will help you a lot to understand a little more about the world of theme creation, as well as present some trends regarding this subject.

We will talk about page builders, child themes, Docker, and especially about the Gutenberg project, the block editor, and new features brought by WordPress in versions 5.8 and 5.9, such as the block-based themes, the theme.json file, etc...

The goal is for you to start making the transition between classic themes and block-based themes.

By the end of this class, you will become a true WordPress theme developer.

You won't regret it! Check it out next week!
