Last year we added a \u201cbeginners day\u201d and we had 200 sign up. I was asked by the other organizers to lead this track. I know I can\u2019t do this all by myself so I have asked Micah Wood (a good friend and an amazing developer) to help lead this.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This is specifically for people who either know other frameworks and want to learn how to build within WordPress or for people who know how to hack at a theme but want to know how to do it \u201ccorrectly\u201d. We will be assuming that people in this track will already be familiar with CSS, HTML, PHP, Git (conceptually speaking) and have some local development experience.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">So if you are looking to attend the track and learn the ins and outs of WordPress theming, make sure you show up on March 18th and have the following installed:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A\u00a0local dev environment &#8211;\u00a0MAMP\u00a0(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mamp.info\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.mamp.info\/en\/<\/a>) is recommended<\/li>\n<li>Cloud9 (<a href=\"https:\/\/c9.io\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/c9.io\/<\/a>) for those who aren&#8217;t willing to install a local dev environment<\/li>\n<li>Git installed (a Git gui if you want)<\/li>\n<li>A cross-platform text editor such as Sublime Text (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sublimetext.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.sublimetext.com\/<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>Filezilla (<a href=\"https:\/\/filezilla-project.org\/download.php\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/filezilla-project.org\/download.php<\/a>) &#8211;\u00a0a good (free) cross-platform FTP client<\/li>\n<li>Chrome or Firefox<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We are also looking for other WordPress ninjas (developers) to help us during the sessions.
