About Word Press

  1. I want to ask, what is Word Press? Is that theme made with HTML&CSS? Can somebody tell me more about Word Press? What it is and usage in web development.

  2. I just finish my Front End Development track. I like to work with HTML&CSS but i need to master it more! JS is cool i know syntax and basics but jQuery is hard and AJAX too.

Should i just keep learning HTML&CSS + JS or also start Word Press. I dont want to start too many things and dont learn(master) anything.

Sorry for bad grammar

Dejan Buric WordPress is a platform that helps making websites easier! It is VERY complex and big, but almost anyone can learn how to use it without and coding or technical knowledge. The more coding knowledge you have the more you will be able to do with WordPress and be able to customize/troubleshoot your WordPress websites!

I am a WordPress "developer" I quoted developer because really I don't "develop", but I make using WordPress. I hardly do any coding, but do use css quite a bit to style my websites exactly how I want them.

Depending on what you want to do will determine wether or not you should learn about WordPress. Since it is my job I have to learn about it in order to do my job and become better at it.

Really I see WordPress as being a whole separate path. Meaning once you go down it you won't really be stumbling into other paths, you will be set on WordPress and that is it. And vise versa, if you choose a different path you will not be crossing WordPress at all.

There is a ton to say about it but it's best you go read about it yourself.

Hope this helps. Good luck!
