Digging Into WordPress - the book!

Two of my favorite web designers with super helpful blogs, Chris Coyier of CSS Tricks and Jeff Starr of Perishable Press, have just released their new collaboration! The book, "Digging Into WordPress," is now available as a PDF download, and if you buy the PDF book now, you will be eligible for a "sweet discount" on the hard copy of the book when it comes out, plus receive updates free.\n\nThey've done a great job on this book, which covers setting up WordPress, anatomy of a WordPress theme, theme design and development, extending functionality including using WordPress as a CMS, working with RSS feeds, SEO, dealing with comments, and keeping your site "healthy." I already followed both of these designers before they began their collaboration, and have found countless useful tutorials, code snippets, design ideas, and much more on both of their sites - I've relied on Perishable Press as a source for great unobtrusive javascript code, and on CSS-Tricks for all kinds of other useful tools for making valid, functional, and beautiful sites.\n\nThis book is bound to be a valuable reference to anyone who works with WordPress.

Wordpress: Tutorials and Resources for Designers and Developers

Every so often you come across a site that makes you wonder why you never found it before, and Andy Gongea's GraphicRating site is one of those for me. This collection of favorite WordPress Tutorials and Resources is extremely helpful, as is his WordPress Cheat Sheet. I often gauge the quality of sites by who they link to, who they cite as authorities, and who they admire. Andy's heros are my heros: Zeldman, Molly, Meyer, Shea, Moll, Croft, Snook are some he specifically names in his Ten Things a Web Designer Should Consider article.\n\nIn this Tutorials and Resources article, he links to quality tutorials from other designers I know and respect, like Chris Coyier's CSS-Tricks and Ian Stewart's ThemeShaper.com among many others. In other words, if I hadn't already found a lot of these great sites, this one post would have set me up really nicely! I look forward, therefore, to exploring all the great tutorials and resources I haven't yet discovered on my own that he lists.
