Bootstrap to Wordpress

Hi,

So i watched the two trailers but im still wondering , or either i didn't understand, how this works?

So lets say i am a static web developer. I know HTML/CSS and some basics of JS nd PHP (PHP more).

And a client asked me to do an E-Commerce site but that is dynamic site right? yes.

So im doing , im coding a site like facebook , lets assume im doign facebook . I did the news feed, i did the chat etc..but its not dynamic.

So with me no or little PHP , the full static facebook page i did, with Zac , i will make it dynamic and could make it like E-Commerce site ?

So with HTML/CSS skills only, and if i learn this here with Zac, i will be able to do a Facebook , E-Commerce site?

This course deals with taking a static HTML/CSS Site created using the Bootstrap Framework and then porting this to Wordpress as a Template. Using PHP (In WordPress format) to replace a lot of the HTML/CSS.

I found the course to be very good but I would suggest you have some good knowledge of Bootstrap and WordPress before taking it on.

Perhaps do the Framework Basics and WordPress Theme Dev courses first.

That WordPress Dev course is very good if you know code but not WP. Take a run at that.
