If you just read the entire guide – you should be proud of yourself. Your awareness of different WordPress features is now better than that of most professional WordPress developers. You should not only have a good idea of how to fulfill standard requirements, but also have a deep understanding of how different parts of this system work together. You may not be an expert WordPress developer yet, but I think you can see how this knowledge will help you get there 10x faster.
I really hope you had as much fun reading this guide as I had writing it. I had never created anything of this scale before, and now having done that I can tell you – it’s a really stimulating and satisfying experience. Moreover, I have learned an insane amount of things about WordPress by having to go through all the documentation and some of the source code.
My main goal with this guide was always to teach myself, but over time, I started prioritizing the reader (you) more and more. My only hope is that you feel like reading this document was not a waste of your time. Whether that’s the case or not, feel free to contact me at wiktor@wiktorjarosz.com or any other way. You can tell me you love my writing or you can tell me I should go back to primary school – I’ll try to answer with something nice either way.
Cheers,
Wiktor
