Hi! I’m Joe Casabona, a Front End Developer, Instructor, & Public Speaker. When I’m not writing code, I’m teaching people how to build things with and for WordPress. You can find my courses over at WP in One Month. I also host a weekly podcast called How I Built It, where I interview product developers and business owners about how...
Joe knows how to combine his in-depth knowledge with beautiful visuals and well thought out curriculum!!
Explanations of what is going on on the screen are good.
Unfortunately it went for me too fast directly to the detail level of the code, and jumping from one file to another without general explanation of what are all these files about and at which point they need to be modified in general.
As for me these general explanations are vital for the course level / target group.
Otherwise the information received remains chaotic and you need to make sense out of this by your own / or get another course :-(
Very good explanations !
It doesn't work for me..........
So far, it’s easy to follow the lecture, good speed and clear voice to catch words. There are some terminologies that I didn’t understand. Wanted to know the examples of the php usages.
I am at lecture 25/47 more than halfway through and all we have done yet is copy and pasting code that is not explained at all.
This has only taught me some VERY basic php and one wordpress function. The rest is "Copy from the file I have provided and paste into YOUR custom theme".
To be honest we are not creating anything here, because the process of creation requires understanding, here we are just building mindlessly without knowing what we are doing.
I cannot fathom how this course have gotten so many 4 and 5 stars.
I will continue and finish this, and might even update my score if it gets better. But right now, this is frankly a waste of time.
A slight update would be to include: _how_ we're going to achieve the current chapter goal. The objective is stated clearly and then we're straight into copying and pasting code and it'd be better if a broad overview was stated before of _how_ & _why_ we're going to tackle the issue before we get into the details. Thanks :)
Great instructor, very relevant info, very good presentation of the concepts and hands-on.
A gargantuan amount of information very well presented.

Please do not waste your money. He doesn't explain properly and often shortcuts copying and paste. The course is old. it needs to be updated.
things doesn't work for me in this course.
