P.A. · 21 June 2016

An excellent book which really digs in deep into the code behind WordPress. Explains in depth how to set up a locally hosted WordPress install. In depth explanations of the Core and the Loop, Custom Posts and Taxonomies, Plugin and Theme development, multi-site, migration and a whole lot more are all explained in great detail whilst still being easy enough to understand. Some knowledge of HTML and CSS would be an advantage and some PHP and MySQL coding experience would help for the more advanced topics. Over 440 pages so good value for money. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars ... stars because it is a comprehensive book and is good for seasoned developers

M.G. · 1 August 2017

I have given this book 5 stars because it is a comprehensive book and is good for seasoned developers. However, I must emphasise that in my opinion this is definitely not a book for beginners. If you at not a developer or a programmer, then this book is not for you. This a very complex and code heavy book. I am completely lost because I have no knowledge of MySQL or PHP scripting language, or in fact any other code except a little HTML. The clues is in the title "Professional", "Design and Development".

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book, it remains clear on a tricky subject

S. · 18 January 2016

The books good, very informative & clear..... but wordpress is a pretty insecure system if not kept up to date & monitored , & tweaked, & fiddled, & nurtured, & watched, & regularly checked on. I won't be using WordPress, as I will be doing the site "maintenance" in-house, & I don't want to have to level too much time at a website... but if you do plan to use wordpress this book would be a good reference. This book is a goodun.

5.0 out of 5 stars So glad I've finally got this book.

P. · 18 January 2015

I develop mostly for WordPress and this is a book I wish I'd got years ago to save me much time and effort muddling through the codex, forums and outdated blog posts. I waited a few months for the updated version as the WordPress backend admin and core has changed more than slightly since the 2nd edition was published, this new edition has updated chapters on Theme Development, focuses more on using WordPress ambitiously as an App Framework, going beyond the CMS. Really good read with great examples and I'm sure it will be my bible going forward with WordPress in 2015.

Great book with everything you need to know about WP development. Good for all levels, but it will be much easier to grasp if you have knowledge of programming in general as well as PHP, MySQL, HTML etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars WordPress Developer Bible

S. · 24 July 2016

It's a dry read but it's thorough and as close as there is to what could be considered a WordPress bible.Definitely one for the developers or aspiring developers more that content producers/business owners.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well laid out

D.K. · 26 May 2016

It's extremely informative, quite technical. Not really for the basic user of Wordpress.

Un bon livre qui couvre l'ensemble de WordPress 4Une bonne référence

Ottimo testo per sviluppatori web pro

C.A. · 19 April 2016

Libro molto utile per chi vuole sviluppare in Wordpress. Tratta tutti gli argomenti in modo dettagliato e spiega perfettamente il funzionamento di ogni singola parte del CMS fornendo la chiave per personalizzare ogni sezione. Sconsigliato ai beginners, questo libro tratta l’argomento in maniera tecnica ed avanzata, infatti presuppone una conoscenza dei linguaggi: HTML, CSS, PHP, MYSQL.Nella nostra realtà professionale, come Agenzia Web, Neting.it, operiamo nella realizzazione di siti web professionali e pur avendo un'ottima esperienza come svilupatori devo ammettere che questo libro è stato molto utile per capire in profondità molti aspetti di WordPress e lo considero un ottimo aiuto per chi vuole personalizzare ogni aspetto, creare Plug-in e Template. Diventa ancora più utile se lo si usa come strumento di lavoro e in maniera empirica, leggendo il libro e provando subito le modifiche al codice consigliate mentre si è davanti allo schermo. Questa è infatti la maniera in cui consiglio di utilizzare questo libro, poco teorico e molto pratico!Vivamente consigliato a tutti coloro che vogliono sviluppare siti web professionali in WordPress, avere una visione completa dell’intera logica e, infine, creare i propri Template, Plug-in, Web Page senza dover contare su risorse esterne gratuite o a pagamento.

Muy buen libro

Hervorragende Einführung in die Programmierung in Wordpress

M.M. · 21 April 2015

-> Guter Überblick über die Strukturen der Wordpressinstallation-> Hilfe bei der Installation einer Testsite und Hilfe beim Übertragen derselben auf den Zielserver-> PHP-Code mit Erklärungen; setzt gute Kenntnisse voraus.-> Hilfreich die Kapitel über Sicherheit, Installation einer eigenen Suchfunktion (Plugins und eigene Programmierung) und Aufbau von Multisite-> Einführung in Custom Post Types, Custom Taxonomies und Metadata (setzt gute PHP-Kenntnisse voraus)Zu den Kapitel Theme- und Pluginentwicklung kann ich nichts sagen, weil mir die Programmierkenntnisse fehlen.Ich habe "Professional Wordpress" mit Ausnahme der Plugin- und t<heme-Entwicklung komplett durchgearbeitet, kann einfache Anpassungen an meiner Wordpressinstallation vornehmen und sogar PHP-Code am richtigen Ort einfügen.

THE BOOK for Web Devs

J.D.A. · 8 May 2019

In the past 2 or 3 years I have reviewed and read so many books by "WordPress Aficionados" that are nothing but fluff and contain no useful information for professional programmers seeking the hidden gateway into the maze that is WordPress that just the thought of those books makes my stomach churn.This is THE BOOK for programmers. I'm only 5 chapters into it and, as a professional software engineer, I am completely enthralled by it. Literally every page answers questions that I have always had about WordPress. I've been working with WordPress for years - mostly on previously built sites and have managed to muddle my way through theme modifications and functionality enhancements (without hacking the core!) with successful results, but I have never had a level of comfort working in WordPress, from a developer perspective that I've desired, but which I am now achieving, compliments of this book.These authors have done a SPECTACULAR JOB of presenting the information critically needed by software developers in a logical and precise manner that not only renders instant value, but opens the doors and exposes paths to gain further knowledge by demystifying the Codex and providing alternatives.Brad Williams, David Damstra, and Hal Stern - Kudos to you all! Thank you, truly, for writing such a wonderful book on WordPress!
