Despite the large amount of tutorials and quick tips available over the Internet, I find cookbooks a most valuable resource to recap, collect and organize those most helpful tricks of a programming language / CMS / library.
That’s why during this winter break I’m going to read the latest released cookbook about WordPress by Packtpub titled “WordPress 3 Cookbook“.
As from other reviews and the table of contents, the book’s 9 chapters cover every aspect of WordPress 3 development, from basic installation and theme customization to plugins and widgets development.
I’ve also took a sneak peek at chapter 5 on “Building Interactivity and Community” which covers many fancy and now-so-cool topics as facebook/twitter integration. It also covers basic customization and development with BuddyPress community plugin which i s a product I’ve lately used on one of my projects.
Since the book’s structure is of a classic tech cookbook (“I have a question, here is the answer”), WordPress 3 Cookbook seems a good reading for both novice and expert developers as it stands as an excellent collection of the most important topics about WordPress development.
I’ll keep you posted for a more in-dept review of the book.
