Theres got to be a better way....

Can any PRO students out there let me know if there is any bonus material about WordPress Theme Development in their log in, other than the ones that show up in the regular log in?

I'm into WordPress a LOT, but the course that is offered for regular students is lacking in a lot of departments and has a ton of errors. No offense to the teacher, but I want a no frills, NO MISTAKES way of doing this. Like I get the general concept and how to apply them but it is hard to follow along when there are on screen mistakes and I'm dealing with a ton of files.

Thanks

Zac isn't around to defend himself on this anymore but what I will say is that the videos cover a wide range of material and at times can be quite lengthy. So while I'm sure every appropriate stage of planning for the videos went into it, mistakes will happen, and where they do Zac notices and corrects them quite quickly.

Treehouse teachers are awesome but they are only human. The other advantage is that it highlights how making mistakes is a part of the learning process. It is at times the best way to learn. Never be afraid to fail or make mistakes and don't be put off when the teachers make mistakes too. :)

I'm not attacking Zac/anyone in anyway, dude did an awesome job. However there were a couple times in the course where, even tho I followed along, either my site broke or things didn't show up according to plan. And I get that yes, ppl make mistakes, but like 5-6 ppl asking the same question that you are stuck on, posted a year ago, un answered, can get super frustrating.

But switching things around, I did manage to figure out what was going wrong, and I did learn from my mistakes.

And yes Treehouse teachers are awesome : -)

This post was mainly to see if there were any other WordPress Theme Development courses offered in PRO more than anything, because I would gladly join PRO if that is the case!

A quick look at the library tells me there is no PRO content for WordPress in the library. Sorry. :-)
