 * hey guys
    I am currently learning theme development for WordPress and i was wondering
   if i am missing anything. In the sense i am following a book but I’m pretty sure
   that the WordPress theme which I’ll end up creating will be very simple and not
   up to the mark professionally. Yes i do know that i have to practice a lot and
   read many more books but right now I’m in a sticky situation. My main problem
   is what kinda layout should i use? A **fixed** width or **fluid** layout. The
   books which i have now are Digging into WordPress and Build your own wicked WordPress
   themes. I’m having Lynda’s build your own custom WordPress themes. Should i get
   anything else. Apart from these i am reading WPtutsplus and also the Codex. My
   skill set –> Good at HTML and CSS. Learning PHP and JavaScript. And also what
   kinda proficiency in PHP and JavaScript is required to be comfortable with WordPress
   theme development
 * Cheers

 * Sounds like you are on your way. In terms of what layout to use – there is no
   right or wrong, it depends on what type of website you are trying to build. Having
   said that, many theme developers are starting to move into ‘responsive’ or ‘adaptive’
   layouts for their themes.
 * All the best
