"Great book for intermediate WordPress developer" - by Rawhide on 03-MAR-2013
Reviewer Rating: 1 star rating2 star rating3 star rating4 star rating5 star rating
While this book is too advanced for a WordPress novice, it is perfect for someone who understands the basics of WordPress but wants to know more. The author has a lot of WordPress experience under his belt, and not only explains various aspect of WordPress, but also offers "rules of thumb" when planning a WordPress site.
