The "How to Build a Wordpress Theme" project is great!

Just want to say thanks, Zac Gordon.

This project is easy to follow and is teaching me exactly what I need to know right now. It seems to me that converting a static site to a Wordpress theme is a basic skill that every web developer should have.

Making custom post types and fields seemed daunting at first but you made it easy. I'm excited to dig into "Wordpress Theme Functions" next!

Keep 'em coming!

I agree. I also vote for more Wordpress classes, and I'm looking forward to the ones already in the works.

Thanks so much Keith! and everyone ;)

I'm glad the tutorials are easy to follow and I completely agree that it's a fundamental skill for building easy to manage sites.

You all might enjoy checking out the How to Build a Photography Child Theme tutorial on the blog.

It takes a little while to prepare and release a project, but I can assure you there's more great WordPress content to come :)

I definitely agree! Zac, when do you expect to release the remaining videos in this series? I'm using these videos as a reference guide for an actual theme I'm building for a client. Are there any other learning resources you could point me to for the time being? Thank you!!
