Building Web Apps with WordPress: WordPress as an Application Framework Review: Solid Gold - First, I'm a developer. I've been building WordPress web applications for 6 years, and marketing sites with WordPress before that. Mostly I've been creating intranet applications for corporations. These have been highly customized web apps, with a content management core. In short, I'm the person this book was written for, albeit probably more experienced than most. I bought this book thinking that if it didn't have much that I didn't already know, I'd send it back. Well I'm keeping it! Every page in this volume has at least one thing that I didn't know, or had read but didn't think about much. Much of it is easily available in the WordPress docs, but nevertheless, this is a good reference. Its reasonably thorough. The chapter on ecommerce might not tell you absolutely everything you need to know about designing an ecommerce site (it would need a second volume for that) but it doesn't have any bad advice, and certainly gets you going in the right direction. It does cover a lot of ground in 500 pages. But there is no fluff, and not a lot of code. Its not a "cookbook". To use it, you will have to think for yourself, and apply ideas from this book to your solution to your application. Review: Perfect book for a great learning foundation for using WordPress to build web applications - This book goes over the top-level concepts for building a web application in WordPress. It goes over many top-level concepts and goes into a lot of theory about how to structure WordPress and turn it into what you want, whether it is a general website with some advanced functionality, a structured and controlled WordPress site, or using WordPress as an actual app platform. The writers behind the book are geniuses and on top of their game, so there's great anecdotal advice sprinkled throughout. I would highly recommend this book if you are getting started with WordPress and web apps, or are wanting to solidify your WordPress knowledge with expert authors. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,552,363 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #346 in Mobile App Development & Programming #891 in Web Development & Design Programming #1,760 in Software Development (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 75 Reviews | ## Images ![Building Web Apps with WordPress: WordPress as an Application Framework - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91QHS41QpcL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid Gold *by P***D on February 24, 2022* First, I'm a developer.
