Where to start?

Want to learn web design and wordpress, but not sure where to start. There is some php in wordpress lectures so should we start with php, or first web design, or web development? What you suggest?

Thanks

Thanks for answer. Yes, I started with it, but then I realized that we use some .php so I wasn't sure. Anyway, thanks

Should be better if you start with the Web Design Track for you to have an idea about how everything works behind the User Interface and the structure of the Web Pages and once you learn how to set up a Website, then go to the WordPress track as Stone Preston mentioned above.

I am not telling that this is the proper way to start, it is just the way I did it and it works awesome for me.

I'm not sure where you are in your learning, but do make sure you have a solid understanding of HTML and CSS -- whether you are planning to use Wordpress or otherwise, you're going to need HTML and CSS skills, since those are pretty foundational to building websites.
