Build a WordPress Theme 'From Scratch'

Interested in building a WP theme? Join Jeremy Green as he walks you through building your own WP theme from scratch.

This is an intermediate level class - students should know the basics of WordPress as well as HTML and CSS in order to fully participate.

To prepare for class:

• Download a clean WordPress install to work with locally
• Install some kind of code editor (I use Sublime Text. It's free and works well, but if you're using something else that's fine. )
• This is not required, but Jeremy would recommend using a CSS preprocessor like Sass or Less. He will be using Sass in his demonstration.

If you need help with any with this (like setting up WP locally), we'll be available to help on the day of the class. If you would like help, please come 15 minutes early.

Your instructor, Jeremy Green, builds custom WordPress themes and plugins for small businesses and web agencies around the country. He owns Endo Creative, a web design company that specializes in building awesome things with WordPress. He has spoken at multiple WordCamps and organizes the Fort Collins WordPress Meetup. His hobbies include mountain biking, cooking, and playing guitar.

As always, you can reach Daun or I through email if you have questions prior to class.

Location will be announced closer to the class.
