Omar,

If you don´t know anything about wordpress I suggest you to take "Learn Wordpress" track, this track will teach you what wordpress is about.

If you are serious about building Wordpress Themes, I`ll recommend you to take the following courses:

PHP Basics

PHP Functions

Object Oriented PHP Basics

If you don´t want to learn PHP first then take the following course, but keep in mind that at some point you should learn PHP so I suggest you to take the PHP courses before jumping into Wordpress.

PHP for Wordpress

Once you are done with PHP courses jump into the "Wordpress Development Track".

Yeah, I'm going to have to agree with Andres on this one. If you don't have any PHP background, you will need to learn that first, WordPress is written in PHP so in short if you want to work with WP you need to know PHP.
