I’m still working my way through this book. I have good html and css skills and I also teach photoshop so I was pleased early on in the book to find that most developers use photoshop to create a look for their theme. The book shows all sort of pretty themes designed in photoshop but does not explain the method used or how once having created a theme in photoshop how to apply it easily to your framework. I’d disagree that this is a book for beginers, beginers should download a pre-pressed theme and save themselves alot of trouble.

Having looked online for tutorials and the like I was delighted when I finally found this book.
It slowly dawned on me as I read through the book that it was not as easy as it sounds, with the reader needing to know various programming languages, such as html, MySQL and PHP to work with the WordPress coding snippits.
For someone who is technologically savvy in those languages, it is a very worthwhile purchase and probably will have you creating Wicked WordPress Themes, but for someone such as myself, I think that it will be a while before this book has anything deeper than hope to offer as I am not yet at a level to completely understand all of the aspects covered.

As a website developer / Blogger I’m quite familiar with many books from publishers Sitepoint O’Reilly and the Dummies collection. For me it was [O'Reilly - For Coding] [Dummies - for text reference e.g. blogging & Marketing] and [Sitepoint - For Design and Development] so less about my book understanding and more about –
“Build Your Own Wicked WordPress Themes” in my opinion the book is very well written and easy to understand it contains some really interesting and useful information like using frameworks, custom widgets and anatomy of design which is stuff I never really considered before; As someone has prior knowledge of HTML CSS and Basic PHP it seemed to be quite fun and easy to build your own themes. WordPress is a very powerful tool and this book gives a good insight on how it could be used at its full potential as well as explaining in details how to develop your themes.
Whether you are won’t to design for; personal or commercial reasons this book is for you, I can say “I may have prior experience in coding but with a steady pace anyone can learn with or without any experience as this book is written in simple easy to manage chapters ”
The book is up to date with WP 3.0 which great benefit as many web resources out their are out-of-date, so I conclude by saying this book is excellent for anyone who won’t to learn to develop wordpress themes from beginners to pros
