Ebook Professional wordpress design and development (Third Edition)

This book is divided into three major sections: Chapters 1through 4 are an overview of the WordPress system, its major functional elements, and a top‐level description of what happens when a WordPress‐generated web page is displayed. Chapters 5through 9 build on this foundation and dive into the core of WordPress, describing internal code fl ow and data structures. This middle section is strongly developer‐oriented, and describes how to extend WordPress through plugins and customize it via themes. The last section, Chapters 10through 15, combines a developer view of user experience and optimization with the deployer requirements for performance, security, and enterprise integration.
