Introduction

WordPress became my CMS of choice because it’s so easy for end users to learn how to manage their own sites. In this book, you’ll learn how to install, configure, and customize WordPress to make it the perfect CMS for your next project. I’ll walk you through the complete development of a WordPress site, whether you’re importing content from another CMS or writing your own. You’ll learn how to create custom themes that give you complete control over your site’s appearance. You’ll see how to extend WordPress with custom post types when you find that posts and pages aren’t enough, and you’ll learn to write your own plugins when your needs outstrip the built-in features.
