If you know HTML and CSS and want to gain more control over WordPress, this is the class for you.

In this class you’ll learn how to install WordPress on your local computer for editing and testing code.

The two-day WordPress course with Nate Cooper was fantastic. I left the class inspired and ready to dive into the WordPress world. Thanks.

The WordPress.org class paid for itself before the end of the class. I was able to make changes on our website that would have cost three times the cost of the class.

This class was awesome. It taught me just what I wanted to know: how to create a fresh WP installation, turn CSS that I write into templates, and manage and move files to and from a server.
