Word Press is much more than a blogging platform.

As this practical guide clearly demonstrates, you can use Word Press to build web apps of any type--not mere content sites, but full-blown apps for specific tasks.

If you have PHP experience with a smattering of HTML, CSS, and Java Script, you'll learn how to use Word Press plugins and themes to develop fast, scalable, and secure web apps, native mobile apps, web services, and even a network of multiple Word Press sites.

In the book's updated second edition, the authors use examples from their recently released School Press app to explain concepts and techniques throughout the book.

All code examples are available on Git Hub.
