easy to follow

simple, easy to follow & solid explanations Very well explained and thorough so far.

Everything is well explained and it is easy to follow along.

So far, it's still easy to follow through.

Easy to follow.

Really easy to follow.

For someone not used to working with WordPress, this kills the course..... yes Zac knows what he is talking about and based on this and other videos that I have seen of him I trust him completely Very well explained course so far, very easy to follow and logical.

Zac is not boring at all and easy to follow... so far, let's see how 16 hours go A little early in the course to say, but the instructor seems clear and concise, I think he has given the course a lot of forethought before embarking to get the content coherent So far it looks clear and easy to follow, I would probably rate even higher but yet to see more.

his teaching style

You cannot go wrong with his courses, a knowledgeable and engaging teacher with a wonderful flair for teaching, his teaching style is simply among the best.

I knew Zac from when he was on another teaching website, and I'm very happy to see him here teaching again WordPress; his teaching style is amazing, with him complex things get simple; you have no excuse if you ever wanted to start developing for WordPress; this is the only course you need, forget about the others...

Thank you So far, his teaching style seems very straightforward.

Zac is extremely knowledgeable and his teaching style is easy to follow and understand.

themes and plugins

You learn real WordPress development so you can build your own themes and plugins.

This course did an excellent job of making me feel comfortable with all the pieces of themes and plugins.

I started working with Wordpress (customizing themes, creating themes and plugins from scratch) about 3 months ago and in that time I have learned everything and much more than what has been offered in the course so far.

I was expecting more depth into the themes and plugins thing so far, but I guess it's coming later on the course.

plugin development

I found the tutorial very confusing; I really had a hard time trying to follow the Plugin development series.

I wish there was more concept and more lectures for plugin development.

I'm also at the point where I need to learn theme and plugin development.

I'm looking forward to discovering the plugin development section, when it's released!

Decided to take this course, to get the latest and up to date approach to theme and plugin development.

this is not a plugin development course at all , but only how to prepare the environnement to develop a plugin , I will definitly not recommend this course to anyone looking to learn how to go from zero to a real commercial plugin .

rather than

I like the pace of the course, although I would recommend students set the audio to .75x speed, and review videos rather than flying through the course.

Though - rather than using the terminology 'tags', I think perhaps it would be better to use the more realistic vernacular such as 'functions' - but I am still only on section 2, so perhaps this is changed and explained later Kudos regardless!

not well organized feels like he is making up as he goes along rather than knowing exactly what he is doing.

These lessons save hours of headaches because the instructor explains things in terms of actual use-cases rather than just plainly laying out information as if in a vacuum.

set up

I have experience with javascript and python and it was helpful for me when I was learning for someone to show me function your_function( ) { }; I have always maintained to set up your syntax first before putting content into it.

Apache/2.4.37 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.1.1a PHP/7.3.1 Server at wordpress-development.local Port 80 I have Local set up already, this was a clear concise description of the setup process.

It covers many of the core files needed to build a WordPress theme and how to set up the basics of a wordpress theme.

not helpful in getting set up, I can't even get started, when it comes to the second section after adding 3 programs to my laptop.
