“I want to learn WooCommerce development, but I don’t know where to start”

WooCommerce is everywhere at the moment and there are a lot of development opportunities for freelancers and full time developers, but it’s hard to get a handle on what exactly you need to know in order to become a proficient WooCommerce developer.

There are a lot of WooCommerce resources on the internet, but it’s hard to know what’s still relevant and where to find reliable code samples that work and explanations that walk you through everything you need to know for a deep understanding.

“All I can find is mish-mash of information, it’s hard to know what I need to concentrate on to become a good WooCommerce developer”

You could spend weeks going through blog posts and tutorials but still not fully understand how everything fits together.

Often you’ll be tasked with accomplishing a task and it’s hard to know where to start, you might be able to find a few lines of code that say they do 80% of what you need but it’s hard to work out how to add the extra 20% and be confident that you’ve done a good job.

What if you were walked through the things you need to know to get started?

What if you had access to examples of how to solve the most common WooCommerce development tasks and you were walked through the code required step by step so you had a complete understanding of the process, an understanding that will stand you in good stead for multiple projects in the future.

As long as your Google skills are good you can probably find a snippet that will fix your latest issue, but what if the snippet doesn’t do exactly what you require? Wouldn’t it be great if you could adapt the snippet quickly to your requirements rather than leaving a comment and hoping of the blog author could help you out?

Finding snippets on the internet can only take you so far. Snippets might tell you the “what” but it does not explain to you “why”. Developing with so little knowledge feels like you are flying blind. You are doing something but you don’t know if it will work, and you’re worried that you won’t have the knowledge . This book is different.

Give a person a fish ( code snippet) and you give them a way to solve the immediate problem; teach a person to fish (write their own code snippets) and they could be solving problems  (and feeding themselves) for a lifetime.

This book is about learning how to fish. This book is about becoming confident in your ability to solve WooCommerce issues without relying on guess work and  Google searches.

You need not spend months researching what you need to learn to start WooCommerce programming. You can quickly learn how to make the changes you need to a WooCommerce store without getting a PhD in Computer Science. You can have a good understanding of  how to make changes to your or somebody else’s WooCommerce site within a few hours with this book.
