Out Now: Responsive Design with WordPress

I’m happy to announce that my second book, Responsive Design with WordPress is out today online and in bookstores. It’s published through Peachpit/New Riders and I couldn’t be happier with the way it turned out.

Responsive Design with WordPress

 

I wrote this book because I was creating a lot of Responsive themes for WordPress and started to work on better ways to take advantage of WordPress’ architecture to make development easier. The result is 190 pages of tutorials, tips, and tricks to create great responsive stuff in WordPress, as well as great themes and plugins in general.

There are a few people I want to thank: Mike Nolan for accepting my proposal and bringing me into the Peachpit family, Nancy Peterson and Eric Schumacher-Rasmussen for their amazing editing and guidance, my good friend Stephen Mekosh for tech editing, and the rest of the team that worked on the book; without them this book would have never happened. I know I’ve said this before, but getting published through Peachpit is a dream come true for me as I basically learned how to make websites thanks to their books. I hope you enjoy reading the book as much as I enjoyed writing it.

To make things easier for you, here’s:

    I Started Writing my Next Book

    My last book, HTML and CSS: Visual QuickStart Guide came out about 5 years ago, in August 2020. It was a book I signed pre-pandemic after pitching a different, WordPress book.
