How to become wordpress developer Videos

:( talking too fast for me to understand. (I'm native American, so it's not an English thing.) Please add cc (not the auto cc, which has butchered your content) or tell me how to slow this down.

Thanks Kevin (sub'd) Invaluable content, just the direction I was looking for. I'm already fluent in HTML & CSS. I have been using wordpress themes for year, so I'm familiar with PHP and MYSQL, but have zero code knowledge of javascript. I have finally settled on a theme for my main directory business site but the developer has stopped supporting and with a huge wishlist of functions I WANT, I think its time for me take full control of that role myself and turn it into what I WANT... Based on your direction, I'm thinking I should... 1) Print, disect and get familiar will all the current code in the them as it exists. 2) Learn all the PHP and JavaScript functions I come across. 3) Start working on developing my own fixes and updates. QUESTION: Out of all your links, where 'do you think' I should invest my time/money first with regards to step #3 Once again "Great Video, Great Content!"

Thanks, Kevin. Lots of useful advice there. And +1 for books. Agree also that Udemy quality is variable to put it mildly. And some of the claims they make - like become a fully fledged developer in 6 weeks - are a bit wide of the mark imo. (Also, loving that accent. Reminds this southern softie of the very happy years he spent living in Glasgow.) Thanks again.

When I see someone saying they make money doing this or that, and they want to teach you how to do the same thing...that usually means that the ship has sail, the fairytale is over, too many people figured it out and so the competition is now to make money off of the late arrivals by "bringing them in". I'm afraid this is not going to be your golden ticket Joe pool guy. Go to school, I don't care what age you are, how many years altogether have you spent working your ass off to get through a shortcut to what you want and never got there? Honestly? Cause I'm 35 and I spent about 30 soooooo...don't let culture sell you selling. that's a pyramid scheme and it creates nothing. It just moves money around until it lands in the next guys pocket. Your good enough for the real thing.

Oh my.... It takes more than just Photoshop and wordpress to create a good side.
