Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Over-pricedFor $35, I expected something with far more detail and information. I'm a beginner to Wordpress, but I program in other languages. The book gave a bit of an overview, but in the end, I got what I really needed on the help pages. Rating: - Nightmare In ProgressThe two books : WordPress Complete by Hasin Hayder and WordPress for Dummies by Lisa Sabin-Wilson are worthwhile sources for the individual that lacks the expertise to setup the WordPress program. Now don't misunderstand what I say next. If you are a complete novice, get the books. Be fully aware that both books will NOT be sufficient to reach normal insanity while getting WordPress setup, if you're requirements go beyond the norm. Am familiar to Blogging and a bit ...

The first 100 pages - and some of the back hundred for that matter - are filled with distracting explanations of topics irrelevant to properly using and building bloggy websites with Wordpress. The English is a mishmash of South Asian/British/American that reads like it was written by a tired programmer at 3 in the morning, and edited by someone with their eye on the clock rather than on the text. That said, ...

I understand the author is from Bangladesh, but didn't this publishing house have an editor on staff? How did a $40 book make it to the bookshelves of highly respected bookstores with writing that reads like a term paper from junior high? Normally I wouldn't bother to come to Amazon and criticize a ... Read More Rating: - Want to Develop your own WordPress Theme?The reason for me to buy this book was for the information on how to develop your own themes. But that information isn't presented well. The coding example starts off relatively easy and well explained, but before long, it doesn't really teach anything as much as it just tells you to plug in chunks of code into your files and then see what happens. And the book changes coding conventions to an abbreviated form somewhere along the way, just when it starts to get a bit complicated for a non-coder like ... Read More
