Ok course

Importante: este curso se grabó en 2018 y no ha sido actualizado. WordPress ha cambiado mucho desde entonces. Además, el tutor no participa en el foro desde 2019, por lo que no resolverá tus dudas o problemas. Todo esto debería advertirse antes de comprar (y que cada uno decida). Pese a todo, recomiendo el curso porque la mayoría de conceptos siguen vigentes y el tutor explica bien y de forma concisa los elementos esenciales para desarrollar un theme.
