After the very affordable, easy-looking WordPress for Dummies, I\u2019ve looking for next level \u2018technical\u2019 book about the popular WordPress blogging platform for months. But I\u2019m not impressed, no going further, totally disappointed! Maybe my expectations about this \u2018bible\u2019 have been too high or unrealistic.<\/p>\n
In a nutshell, overall coverage about various aspects of this excellent platform were off-balanced. The general layout is by any means excellent, but the contents are not. Overall treatment of each subjects is very shallow with some surprisingly \u2018too deep\u2019 dive into \u2018nonsensically too long\u2019 code snippets all over. For example, I was eager to find some \u2018value-added\u2019 tips on non-blogging CMS setup, but it\u2019s not even close even to the Dummies\u2019 WordPress book which in my opinion is the best introductory book.<\/p>\n
One more thing, the sample codes were downloaded from the publisher\u2019s site, it shocked me dearly.. why?\u00a0 Its format was docx\u2026 well I need MS Office 2007+ to open this \u2018codes\u2019. I can\u2019t remember the last time code written in docx. Maybe, the author writes the code with MS Words.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
