This manual, "Building Web Apps with Wordpress" by Jason Coleman and Brian Messenlehner, published by O'Reilly Media in April 2014, is a comprehensive guide for developers. It is intended for individuals with existing PHP, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript experience who wish to learn how to build robust web applications using the WordPress platform. The book explores unique approaches to WordPress development, treating it as a framework for creating sophisticated applications rather than just a content management system.
The manual covers a wide array of topics essential for advanced WordPress development, including comparing WordPress to traditional frameworks, utilizing themes and plugins effectively, managing user data, implementing asynchronous functionality with jQuery, and integrating external libraries and APIs. It also delves into e-commerce, membership plugins, and techniques for optimizing and scaling WordPress applications, even touching on developing native mobile apps. Code examples and an example project, the SchoolPress app, are provided, with associated code available on GitHub.
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.
