How To Be a Rockstar WordPress Designer Cover

 

 

Build Themes and Use WordPress to Create Amazing Sites

One of the best books I am currently reading on how to design for WordPress is How to be a Rockstar WordPress Designer. An early scan of its 303 pages makes it a must read. I recommend it. There is a companion website as well. More details to follow as I plow through the chapters and examples.
