Overview
This course is geared for anyone, so you do not need prior experience with computer graphics or coding. WordPress enables you to create and maintain a website, even if you have no web design background. Whether you want to create a new website or blog, or manage an existing WordPress website, this class is for you. 
If you already know how to code webpages as well as how to use the visual content management side of WordPress, and are looking to take more control over WordPress through the coding that works behind the scenes (coding WordPress themes and more), this is the class for you.
Learn front and back-end web development. Build the front-end of sites by coding with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript/jQuery. Add back-end functionality with PHP & MySQL, and build custom WordPress themes.
