I do not know where you live, but I went to the local library (which is pretty big in my city) Then i loaned the newest Wordpress books about theme and plugin development. I got way more out of those books than from 20 "guides" and tutorials on the internet. You can also just buy the books online if you want of course.

This book is one of them i loaned from the library.

If you're still just getting into php/dynamic web pages and are looking for help with wordpress as a backend CMS I've got a few suggestions:

  1. Spend a bit of time looking at the default twenty-twelve theme that comes in the the wp-content/themes/twentytwelve folder when you download wordpress. From there you can learn a lot just by referencing the wordpress codex whenever you see a function used.

  2. This book was huge for helping me understand how to use wordpress as a framework and backend CMS. He does a really good job of explaining how manipulating themes makes Wordpress extremely flexible once you get comfortable with it as a framework.

    If you need any help feel free to PM me.
