Ugh, while the authors are aiming for "lighthearted" and "funny," they just alienate readers who don't want to be assumed male and who don't like "your mom" jokes. Tech has documented issues with being woman-unfriendly, but they leave that junk in, even in their latest update. Gross.I made it 28 pages in before I couldn't take it anymore.

I am sure there is some good content, if you can put up with the dudebro accent the book is written in, but I recommend looking elsewhere if you've never been in a frat.

Digging into WordPress by Chris Coyier and Jeff Star is my first "real" book on WordPress. Until now I'd learned what I needed with a mixture of the Codex, online how-to articles, critical thinking, and intuition. But I figured it best to study up, dig in if you will.The book's format is near perfect: spiral-bound, color-coded, and listed in a logical "quick reference" style.

...more Great book on learning WordPress, and pretty timeless, considering it's about software. It has links to more resources as well. I think the newer editions are thinner than the edition I have, but still, it's a hoss of a book. And I love the design on the actual book- nice thick pages, spiral-bound so you can lay it flat, and colorful and easy to navigate and read. Just like Chris' other endeavors like CSS-Tricks and CodePen, this is top-notch. Great book on learning WordPress, and pretty timeless, considering it's about software.

I read the last version (Digging Into WordPress v3.1) It's a good book to starting wordpress but not for advance developers.

Somewhat dated but very solid information about WordPress development.

Reading through the WP 3.3.1 edition. I'm new-ish to WP & this just about right for me.

This is undoubtedly "The Bible of Wordpress". Chris Coyier and Jeff Starr covers most of the areas, basic to advanced, with to-the-point examples and code snippets. Must read for Wordpress wannabes.
