Helemaal wat ik nodig heb. Soms wat teveel 'inspirational talks'

By Piotr Szczeniak on 11/7/2020

I took Brad's PHP course on building dynamic sites first as I guessed it would be useful to take the WordPress course. I liked Brad's way of explaining stuff, was amazed by the practicality of knowledge he teaches so I decided to go for the Bootstrap to WordPress course. I'm at 12/16 section (Nov 1, 2020) and I can honestly state that this course is one of the best I took on Udemy and I strongly believe the skills obtained during the course will literally boost my income! Mind that course is from 2014 so you will need to face the challenge of working with newer versions of Bootstrap and WordPress which means you will need to use your brains to achieve the same what Brad does in the course with Bootstrap 3.2 and WordPress 3 I guess. Take it and skyrocket your web dev skills!

By Aaron Browne on 11/7/2020

As a professional PHP developer I wanted to expand my knowledge and be able to take on some side projects, I searched around for a course to help me create themes and Brad's course didn't disappoint !
I feel confident that I could now design a bootstrap site and covert it to WordPress with little to no issues.
If your thinking about taking this course I would highly recommend it !

By Alexander Kimaru on 10/13/2020

I have developed websites for around 7 years and I was did not want to use WordPress (WP) because I was afraid of it's complexity and the time it would it take. I lost so much business because many clients want to have their sites on WP. Enough was enough! I was so shocked on how easy it is to develop a custom WP website. Brad is an excellent tutor and I was able to complete a real life project whilst studying instead of following the example in the course (That's how easy it is). I'm so grateful to Brad and you will not regret taking this course! All the best!

Believe this will be an awesome match for me. I have plenty of old school web development experience, so this will be a definite bonus to add to my skillset. No one speaks "Dreamweaver" or "FrontPage" anymore lol

By Andrea Serra on 9/26/2020

Looks good so far. I have only finished the introductions at this stage.

By Kenneth Ryan Cleland on 9/23/2020

Beginner level. Just not for me.

By Free Eagle Studios, LLC on 9/23/2020

Brad is a good teacher, but the course is a little outdated.
If you're going to take this course, you should consult Bootstrap's documentation on nav bars, offset classes, and so on. There are a few differences between the version that is recorded in this course, but they're big enough that complete and utter newbies might get confused.
Apart from that, Brad is a good teacher. You'll have to pause the videos every so often because he speaks rather quickly, but you won't be completely lost and wondering what to do in any of the lectures... apart from the aforementioned issues, obviously.

By Noa Sandovsky on 9/20/2020

I've just finish the course and if you are thinking about taking it you should know it's a bit outdated. Before I subscribe to the course I read the reviews saying it outdated and I was okay if it. I just wanted to get the basics and the idea of creating a theme for wordpress, so it works for me. The course did it, now I need to figure things on my own. One must consider that Brad is a good instructor, I learned lots of new things, and web dev is a fast past thing, things changed fast and update all the time. Consider that too, Brad teaches you to work smart not hard. This course is recommended!

By Blake Bolton on 9/17/2020

Great intro class to WordPress! Highly recommend if you are looking into the development side of WordPress!
