 * I have some programming experience and understand full stack development in general.
   I would like to learn and become a WordPress developer. I hope to learn the inner
   working of WordPress deep enough to make contribution. I’m looking for a comprehensive
   training program, not just courses that teaches part of WordPress and without
   any sense of progression to a more advance level. I have seen courses offering
   such as Udemy, but they are not comprehensive and leaving me with even more questions.
   Any recommendation to a good training program?
 * PS. The training materials on WordPress.org is like an alphabet list of topics,
   and while the materials are impressive, it is no way to teach a subject as complicated
   as WordPress!

 * There are many WordPress courses on the web. A solid working knowledge of PHP
   is a minimum requirement as well as basic HTML/CSS/JS.
 * Begin with creating a WordPress theme from scratch, then a plugin. You will learn
   the basic functionality of WordPress and be able to expand from there.

 * I’m with [@idegopg06](https://wordpress.org/support/users/idegopg06/) on this.
   The docs are so all over the place it is hard just coming to this to get a grasp
   of it. I am not versed in PHP but it seems just like function names doing what
   you want like JS in some respects. The docs could be way better.
