Reviewing WordPress 2.8 Theme Design

Published on Dec 24, 2009

As a followup to my review on Zend Framework 1.8 Web Application Development, Packt Publishing has asked me to do another for the book WordPress 2.8 Theme Design by Tessa Blakeley Silver.

I'm pretty interested in this book because I learned WordPress just by taking stabs at it. Come to think of it, the Purple, Rock, Scissors website is the first WordPress (WordPress Mu) website I ever did. The book, at first glance, appears to offer broad-stroke coverage of the entire WordPress theming process--from design all the way to code and plugins.

If you simply cannot wait, I encourage you to indulge yourself in the sample chapter that has been published.

I was blessed with being born into a tech-savvy family: my dad being a vehicle engineer at Ford and my mom a database programmer — it only made sense that I put my genetic inheritance to good use, so here I am. Whether it be application architecture, code reviews, or any flavor of voodoo-techno-whizbang; its my job to make sure your application or web site functions technically.

Outside of the office, I have the pleasure of serving on the Program Advisory Committee for Full Sail University’s Web Design and Development Bachelor Program. But alas, not all I do is work, oh-no. I’m super passionate about fast, sexy cars (and bikes), painting, coffee, watching the History channel, and playing paintball. I also play a lot of Modern Warfare 2 on XBox (Gamertag: Pievendor).

Oh! How could I forget: My nickname around town is RZA, like the rapper, because I’m so convincingly street.
