Review: An excellent book which really digs in deep into the code ... - 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.
Review: ... stars because it is a comprehensive book and is good for seasoned developers - 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".

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Book, it remains clear on a tricky subject
*by S***R on 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.
