WordPress Web Application Development - Second Edition

Published by Packt Publishing in May 2015, this second edition of WordPress Web Application Development is a practical, scenario-driven technical guide aimed squarely at WordPress developers and designers who want to build modular, scalable web applications efficiently. Ratnayake draws on his background as a freelance developer and plugin creator to walk readers through leveraging WordPress's core features — while honestly confronting the platform's limitations — to deliver applications on tight timelines and limited budgets. The book's premise-driven, real-world approach makes it a useful desk reference for practitioners already comfortable with basic web development, though its 2015 publication date means readers must weigh its coverage against the pace of WordPress's ongoing evolution.
