 * Hello guys,
    this isn’t a coding-related problem, but a problem that every beginner
   faces, I have started reading about WP for 3 months or so, I only read books 
   at the beginning and then watched a video as a faster way to learn. I watched
   a video, of course it doesn’t contain everything I need, but at least it’s a 
   good start for me, I applied what I saw and created my own first simple theme,
   but that’s not enough, I have many ideas that need to come to life so, I watched
   another video just to improve my little skills and from here the disaster has
   started. I didn’t understand anything I don’t know whether I shouldn’t have watched
   this video at this time or it’s too advanced to me !! I felt like I’m in a big
   sea I don’t know the start from the end, functions have no end and I can’t count
   them all or even memorize them, every coder uses different functions and has 
   his own style in coding and for me as a beginner it’s very hard, I feel confused,
   down and bored. Hint: I’m a UI developer originally and understand few the basics
   of php, but not a php developer but i was asked to learn wp.
 * So please your opinions as professional and experienced will help me a lot, is
   what I feel normal? what do you suggest?

 * Hey there
 * Welcome to the world of WordPress! Trust me, after you pick up a bit more knowledge
   at a pace you feel comfortable with, you will fall in love with WordPress as 
   everyone else here has 🙂
 * I highly recommend the following books that have helped me tremendously!
 * Hope these will be useful to you 🙂

 * Thanks a lot Mike, but do you think this is normal? I’m too confused during writing
   the code and I ask a lot can we use X instead of Y and so on.
    Can I overcome
   this confusion ?

 * HI
 * Well I don’t know how to code at all yet I still find it super simple to develop
   sites for people 🙂 WordPress makes things simple once you get the hang of the
   basic terminology and knowledge of the file structure, plugins, functions, etc.
 * Trust me, read read and read some more. Even watch some videos on Youtube. It
   will help a lot more than what people could convey in a support forum. I wish
   you the best of luck with your future projects 🙂
