Written by practicing WordPress developers, the content of this edition focuses on real world application of WordPress concepts that extend beyond the current WordPress version. WordPress started in 2003 with a single bit of code to enhance the typography of everyday writing, and has grown to be the largest self-hosted website platform in the world.

Get up to speed on the new features in WordPress 4.1. Learn cutting edge uses of WordPress, including real-world projects. Discover how to migrate existing websites to WordPress.
