The series has since been updated into this post: “Basics of WordPress Theme Design” — check it out!
WPShout proudly presents: “A Beginner’s Guide To WordPress Theme Development“. Available to you for free.
The book, in five chapters, 3,508 words and twenty one pages will give you a brilliant start with WordPress theme development.
Only the most basic of WordPress knowledge is assumed, so literally anyone can read this and become an awesome WordPress developer.
The table of contents is as follows:
- Chapter 1: The fundamentals of any WordPress theme.
- Chapter 2: The index.php and style.css files.
- Chapter 3: The header, sidebar and footer.
- Chapter 4: The single, comments and page files.
- Chapter 5: The archive, home and functions files.
If you’re reading this, then you’re wanting to get started with WordPress; I’d thoroughly recommend you follow me on Twitter and subscribe by RSS so you’ll keep updated with new WPShout posts.

The download does not include any of the themes used and referenced in the tutorial, so download those quickly too! If you want to pass comptia a+ and ccnp then testking ccna is right option for you.

Giving away your series as an ebook is a huge gesture. Hopefully it will generate some mighty viral traffic as it gets passed around the web.
