Resource Sharing - Sharing is Caring

I have been involved with WordPress plugin and theme development for a long time. Currently, I'm working full-time as a plugin developer for one of the most renowned companies in the WordPress world, based in Florida, USA, for almost 2 years now. There's hardly anyone who uses WordPress but hasn't used our plugins or resource site! Before this, I worked for 2 years at another popular Australian-based WordPress company.

Today, I'll share some resources for getting involved in WordPress development.

WordPress development now uses many advanced and cutting-edge technologies. For example, object-oriented PHP, serverless development, React and Vue.js for plugin dashboard UIs, and much more.

To get into WordPress development, you first need to have basic programming knowledge and know basic web design. You'll find these resources at the end of the post.

(I personally learned React from Viswas of Codevalution)

(Let me share a secret, the React beginner tutorial by Sumit Bhai on YouTube - all the examples he gives are taken from Codevalution's tutorial. This suggests that his Bangla playlist is kind of a copy of Codevalution)

Thank you everyone. If you need any more resources, let me know in the comments.
