 * Hi;
 * I was wondering if someone could point me to a wordpress API. Something that 
   would list what functions are available and what they do.
 * Thanks
 * Steve

 * I found a tutorial that showed me how to roll my own blog theme, it works, but
   I would like a better understanding of what I am doing.
 * Is there a book that explains it all?

 * The only book that deals specificaly with wordpress that I know of is [Digging into WordPress](http://digwp.com/),
   but there might be others?
 * Aside from the book, these tutorials are really complete, and explain in detail
   the process of creating a wordpress Theme:

   [http://themeshaper.com/wordpress-themes-templates-tutorial/](http://themeshaper.com/wordpress-themes-templates-tutorial/)
 * If you already know some php, undestanding wordpress theming shouldn’t be difficult.
   Other than that, the [codex ](http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development)is
   always a good place to start.
