Libro molto utile per chi vuole sviluppare in Wordpress. Tratta tutti gli argomenti in modo dettagliato e spiega perfettamente il funzionamento di ogni singola parte del CMS fornendo la chiave per personalizzare ogni sezione. Sconsigliato ai beginners, questo libro tratta l’argomento in maniera tecnica ed avanzata, infatti presuppone una conoscenza dei linguaggi: HTML, CSS, PHP, MYSQL. Nella nostra realtà professionale, come Agenzia Web, Neting.it, operiamo nella realizzazione di siti web professionali e pur avendo un'ottima esperienza come svilupatori devo ammettere che questo libro è stato molto utile per capire in profondità molti aspetti di WordPress e lo considero un ottimo aiuto per chi vuole personalizzare ogni aspetto, creare Plug-in e Template. Diventa ancora più utile se lo si usa come strumento di lavoro e in maniera empirica, leggendo il libro e provando subito le modifiche al codice consigliate mentre si è davanti allo schermo. Questa è infatti la maniera in cui consiglio di utilizzare questo libro, poco teorico e molto pratico! Vivamente consigliato a tutti coloro che vogliono sviluppare siti web professionali in WordPress, avere una visione completa dell’intera logica e, infine, creare i propri Template, Plug-in, Web Page senza dover contare su risorse esterne gratuite o a pagamento.

Libro perfecto para ir más allá en el manejo de Wordpress. Muy recomendable si quieres hacer tus propios temas y plugins, e ir más allá que la mera interacción con el back end de word press

-> Guter Überblick über die Strukturen der Wordpressinstallation -> Hilfe bei der Installation einer Testsite und Hilfe beim Übertragen derselben auf den Zielserver -> PHP-Code mit Erklärungen; setzt gute Kenntnisse voraus. -> Hilfreich die Kapitel über Sicherheit, Installation einer eigenen Suchfunktion (Plugins und eigene Programmierung) und Aufbau von Multisite -> Einführung in Custom Post Types, Custom Taxonomies und Metadata (setzt gute PHP-Kenntnisse voraus) Zu den Kapitel Theme- und Pluginentwicklung kann ich nichts sagen, weil mir die Programmierkenntnisse fehlen. Ich habe "Professional Wordpress" mit Ausnahme der Plugin- und t<heme-Entwicklung komplett durchgearbeitet, kann einfache Anpassungen an meiner Wordpressinstallation vornehmen und sogar PHP-Code am richtigen Ort einfügen.

In the past 2 or 3 years I have reviewed and read so many books by "WordPress Aficionados" that are nothing but fluff and contain no useful information for professional programmers seeking the hidden gateway into the maze that is WordPress that just the thought of those books makes my stomach churn. This is THE BOOK for programmers. I'm only 5 chapters into it and, as a professional software engineer, I am completely enthralled by it. Literally every page answers questions that I have always had about WordPress. I've been working with WordPress for years - mostly on previously built sites and have managed to muddle my way through theme modifications and functionality enhancements (without hacking the core!) with successful results, but I have never had a level of comfort working in WordPress, from a developer perspective that I've desired, but which I am now achieving, compliments of this book. These authors have done a SPECTACULAR JOB of presenting the information critically needed by software developers in a logical and precise manner that not only renders instant value, but opens the doors and exposes paths to gain further knowledge by demystifying the Codex and providing alternatives. Brad Williams, David Damstra, and Hal Stern - Kudos to you all! Thank you, truly, for writing such a wonderful book on WordPress!
