It was okay. I learnt a fair bit, but there was a lot that didn't line up well with what the presenter had on his screen. Probably to do with newer versions of wordpress and the twentytwenty theme. Made it more difficult to follow along. Also, it was sometimes hard to tell what was required names/syntax by wordpress and what was just names the presenter decided to give things. This makes it a bit more guesswork when I try to do it myself. Could have been a bit more thought put into how to present. Maybe have a theme especially for the course instead of using the 2020 theme, that way it doesn't change. Some of it seemed a bit, unplanned - I'm not sure what the specific learning points were and whether we achieved them.

This is the only course that teaches stylish coding. So that your code even if you are a beginner will have the professional look. In addition it shows how to tamper with official themes wich may appear to be intimidating at first. I took a half star away, because this wordpress Guru, is no teacher and eschews answering Q&A...

I've taken courses from these guys in past and had no trouble and they were very useful. This one however, is an epic fail. 1) The course title is a tad deceptive, it's not exactly on WP Theme development, it's on building a child theme. The way you build a proper theme and child theme is different. 2) The replies I eventually got when I had an issue was terrible! No real help just "Refer to the below-mentioned solution. It may help you. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/notice-array-to-string-conversion-7/" I was of No Help! I tried to get more help by providing more info but I got the same reply with the SAME LINK! *face palm Just a disappointing course that even if I wanted to finish I can't because I still have an unsolved error (for 2 months now) that until fixed, I can't continue.
