Course Overview

A WordPress development course offers a comprehensive introduction to one of the most popular and versatile content management systems (CMS) in the world. Whether you’re a beginner looking to break into web development or an experienced developer aiming to expand your skills, a WordPress development course can provide the knowledge and tools necessary to create and manage sophisticated websites.

The course typically begins with an overview of WordPress, its history, and its core functionalities. Students learn how to install WordPress, set up a development environment, and navigate the WordPress dashboard. Key concepts such as themes and plugins are introduced early, giving students a foundation in customizing the look and functionality of their websites.

As the course progresses, students delve deeper into theme development. They learn how to create custom themes from scratch, modify existing themes, and use child themes to ensure updates don’t overwrite customizations. Understanding the WordPress template hierarchy and PHP, the scripting language that underpins WordPress, is crucial at this stage.
