  • _s

    Hi. I'm a starter theme called _s, or underscores, if you like. I'm a theme meant for hacking so don't use me as a Parent Theme. Instead try turning me into the next, most awesome, WordPress theme out there. That's what I'm here for.

    I completed PHP problems on CodeWars for a week or so, just to get familiar with the basic syntax and methods, and that was enough for me to dive into WordPress. In particular, I recommend this fantastic tutorial for beginners to WordPress, which explains how to get started with custom themes. I would also read up on the Underscores Starter Theme. When you have problems, the place to go is https://developer.wordpress.org/.

  • jQuery

    jQuery JavaScript Library

    However, I would still recommend learning jQuery. Not only is there a huge amount of jQuery still in use on the Internet (and you’re almost guaranteed to encounter it as a professional web developer), but I found that learning jQuery really helped me develop my knowledge of JavaScript. For me, the best place to learn jQuery was its official site.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc.
