Hello everyone, I am thinking about purchasing a textbook on WordPress theme development. However I am not really sure which one to get. One that covers the basics as well as advanced stuff and is relatively recent.
Any recommendations?
Cheers.

I'd go through this and Zac's videos and you'll be set.
