'Build a Genesis Theme' QA Volunteers Needed!

Hello WordPress Developers!

Our next WordPress course is almost ready and we are needing a handful of you to take it for a spin.

The QA process is a time for people to spot any glaring mistakes in content, graphics, or teachers notes, clarification on quiz questioning, broken links, and any other feedback.

Because of the more advanced nature of 'Build a Genesis Theme', we want to ensure that you've at least taken the Genesis Framework Foundations and Modern WordPress Workflow courses.

The course is due to go live next week so QA should be complete with any feedback done by Sunday, July 12. Please use the 'Content Feedback' buttons at the end of each video to provide feedback, and avoid discussing it in the forums until we've had an opportunity to fix any goofs!

If you're interested, let us know in the forum below. If you've been selected, we'll send you and email to let you know!

I've been working a lot with WordPress and Just finished a project using Genesis and a heavily modified StudioPress child theme. My next project includes building a Genesis child theme completely from scratch and so I am extremely excited for this course!

I would love to help with the QA process. I've also taken the Genesis Foundations course, as well as the Modern Wordpress Workflow course. I actually just a month or so ago switched from using MAMP to a VVV development environment thanks to the latter course.

I'm kinda disappointed with this course. It had a lot of fluff (Workflow, what tools to use etc. etc.), but I wanted a course where you build a theme from scratch. Also, non of the two genesis courses really explained the Genesis hooks and structures. I've learned more from Zac's course to be honest. Maybe I should redo those courses :)
