			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/wp27complete.png" alt="WordPress 2. 7 Complete" title="WordPress 2. 7 Complete"  class="alignright" /> Packt Publishers recently contacted me.<br />
They have released a new book titled &#8220;<a href="http://www.packtpub.com/wordpress-2-7-complete-2nd-edition/mid/2807099iid2v?utm_source=wprocks.com&#038;utm_medium=affiliate&#038;utm_content=blog&#038;utm_campaign=mdb_000049" title="WordPress 2.7 Complete" target="_blank">WordPress 2.7 Complete</a>&#8221; and they wanted me to review it. I said &#8220;Ok, send me the book&#8221; and in the next few days, this book was waiting for me at my home.</p>
<p>I am a self-taught WordPress Theme Developer mainly because when I started doing WordPress Themes, there were no books available in the market. Then at one point, I even thought of <a href="http://wpthemetips.com/the-book/" title="Sadish's attempt in writing a WordPress Book">writing a book</a> for newbies, but it did not mature.</p>
<p>There are so many web sites on the internet that will teach you all about WordPress, but the problem is &#8220;<em>there are so many of them</em>&#8220;. Some of those websites assume you are a newbie while some of them think you are an experienced professional.<br />
If you keep browsing the internet for learning about WordPress, you might probably end up somewhere you don&#8217;t want to be.</p>
<h4>So, What is the best approach for learning about WordPress?</h4>
<p><span id="more-626"></span><br />
<a href="http://www.packtpub.com/wordpress-2-7-complete-2nd-edition/mid/2807099iid2v?utm_source=wprocks.com&#038;utm_medium=affiliate&#038;utm_content=blog&#038;utm_campaign=mdb_000049" title="Buy this book" target="_blank"><img src="/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/wp27complete.png" alt="WordPress 2. 7 Complete" title="WordPress 2. 7 Complete"  class="alignleft" /></a> Just grab this book (and your laptop if possible) and go spend a few hours on a weekend. You will probably learn a lot more than spending hours of surfing on the internet.<br />
This book covers a wide range of topics, starting from the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org and it even talks about how you would create a Plugin for WordPress.</p>
<h4>Good Things about this book</h4>
<ol>
<li>This book is a guide to WordPress for both beginners and those who are slightly more advanced.</li>
<li>It has a dedicated chapter for &#8220;<strong>Developing your own theme</strong>&#8220;</li>
<li>Also has a chapter for &#8220;<strong>Developing Widgets and Plug-ins</strong>&#8220;, even though you would not need to write your own plugin, in most cases.</li>
<li>Most importantly, it covers &#8220;<strong>Administrator&#8217;s Reference</strong>&#8221; &#8211; Installing WordPress, moving your WordPress web site from one place to another, backing up, common template tags, and basic troubleshooting</li>
</ol>
<p>So, whatever is your level of expertise with WordPress, you would still get something out of this book. <a href="http://www.packtpub.com/wordpress-2-7-complete-2nd-edition/mid/2807099iid2v?utm_source=wprocks.com&#038;utm_medium=affiliate&#038;utm_content=blog&#038;utm_campaign=mdb_000049" title="Buy this book" target="_blank">Try it out !</a></p>
