WordPress is much more than a blogging platform. As
this practical guide clearly demonstrates, you can use WordPress to build web
apps of any type—not mere content sites, but full-blown apps for specific
tasks. If you have PHP experience with a smattering of HTML, CSS, and
JavaScript, you’ll learn how to use WordPress plugins and themes to develop
fast, scalable, and secure web apps, native mobile apps, web services, and even
a network of multiple WordPress sites.
The authors use examples from their recently released
SchoolPress app to explain concepts and techniques throughout the book. All
code examples are available on GitHub.
- Compare WordPress with traditional app development frameworks
- Use themes for views, and plugins for backend functionality
