The WordPress Content Management system now powers at least 39% of website in the world with a market share of 64% according to W3 Techs website. Those numbers mean potential clients will need your service as a WordPress Developer for either custom theme development, plugins, etc. But how do you becoming a WordPress Developer in 2021?
In my honest opinion, you will need to understand and know how to use the following technologies:
1 HTML/HTM5
2 CSS/CSS3
3 Javascript
4 JQuery
5 Mysql
6 PHP
Yes, that seems like a lot to learn, but they all work hand in hand to achieve a greater goal. HTML is for your markup, while CSS is to add some styles to your website. Javascript helps you create interactive effects within web browsers.
Although, the most important technology you need to fully understand if you want to be a WordPress Developer is PHP, that because WordPress is mainly built on that programming language.
But where do you start, let say you understand the above technologies how do you start to create themes, plugins and the likes, the first place I will check is the WordPress codex website.
That because the website contains everything information about how to build a WordPress Theme
from files that make a WordPress theme and what makes a filter or hook in WordPress. Nonetheless, they are resources online that can help you achieve your dream of becoming a WordPress developer below are some of the best I have used.
