Hi all i just got my first interview at a design company but one of the requirements which would be handy for me to learn is a cms mainly wordpress but looking at all the treehouse videos which one would you recommend to learn ? Building sites with a cms as a backend which wordpress courses did you take :)

Get yourself onto the WordPress track. It has been designed to help you learn from the very beginning to more advanced topics. http://teamtreehouse.com/tracks/wordpress-development

I haven't actually completed the WP track (I'm on android) but I have completed a number of Zac's treehouse screencasts and they are absolutely fantastic. You won't find better on the web [in my opinion]. Also, keep a lookout on the roadmap for upcoming releases. http://teamtreehouse.com/roadmap

My only advice is to learn how to design / develop themes before moving to concepts such as plugin development / custom post types. These can be very confusing to a novice if you are one.

Good luck with the interview!

Tunde,

Yes, WordPress track. But WordPress isn't strictly a CMS "out of the box", unless you're doing very basic things; you'll need to do quite a bit of customization to spin it up into something I'd call a content management system.
