Review by Daniel Balfour for WordPress 2.8 Theme DesignRating: I'm writing this reveiw in part as an open letter to Tessa, the book's author, as well as to provide some insight into making your purchase ( you being the shopper). I had originally reveiwed (okay, ranted about ) Tessa's previous writing, WordPress Theme Design . I found it lacking in many ways and went into an in-depth analysis of what I felt the book was missing. WordPress 2.8 Theme Design is a soup-to-nuts improvement on the previous book. THIS book actually introduces topics that pertain to actual theming of WordPress blogs, with only casual discussion of related (albeit off topic) subjects. Tessa has really outdone herself here, and just as I bitterly criticized the previous writing, I feel this current edition is praise worthy. The book is well organized, concise, topics are developed ADEQUATELY, and in logical order, and references are made to where additional resources can be found.Reading this book will guide the novice through some of the main factors of WordPress theme design. It explains, though briefly, pretty much all you need to understand to create your own WordPress theme, and from scratch. Topics are very well developed and though it may not say as much as I'd like, this book is by far the best (hard copy) resource I've yet to see on the subject. The reader will NOT be disappointed.Good job Tessa!
