Excellent for the growing developer.

Unfortunately after being written it should have had someone read through and follow the instructions.It has a lot of:"Here we added a link to the stylesheet" - but the code shows no link and it just appears in code several pages later"As you can see in the following screenshot" - then there is no screenshot"Here you should add 'the_date()'" - but then the screenshot must show the result using 'the_time()' because 'the_date()' will only show the date for one post. If the have two posts posted on the same day (which this project does) then using 'the_date()' will only show the date on the first one, the second will be blank and you'll be left thinking you must have done something wrong and spend 10 minutes googling for help.The screenshots in this book were taken between 12/12/2017 and 21/12/2017 and the book was published on 29/12/2017 - I think it's fair to say it was rushed in order to be put through on time and as such misses a few of the finishing touches which would make it much better.

Large portions of this book are unreadable. The kindle formatting has one letter per line.

I am only 50 pages into the book, still in Chapter 1. The text needs polish. It would benefit from an editor and a test reader. If you already code PHP, HTML, CSS and WordPress and just want to know how to create WordPress themes, then you will probably adore this book. However, I am a little rusty/weak in some areas, so I struggle.I get the feeling the author didn't intend the book to require quite so much expertise, but certain details are lacking. For instance, On page 29 we are directed to add a header tag in the HTML file. It shows what to add, but not where to add it. OK, I figured it out, but a single line of pre-existing text in the example to show *where* would have been easy to add and very helpful. I guess nobody else is typing, but just looking at the finished code downloaded from the website.If you try to follow along in the text, you MUST use a really good syntax-aware editor for typing the examples. The author says on page 10: "Open the wp-config file using Sublime Text as the editor. You can use whichever editor you feel comfortable with."This reads like "I like to use Sublime Text." What it really means is: USE SUBLIME TEXT (or something equally powerful designed for editing these types of files) because it auto-formats, does syntax highlighting, auto-inserts block closing tags and other things omitted from the example text. But... you know... whatever you are comfortable with. :-)Given all the little errors, I found it odd that there are no errata on the PacktPub website. Perhaps everyone else simply uses the downloaded code rather than going step-by-step as described in the text.I will keep plowing forward. but the book could be much better with just a bit of effort.
