Requirements


This course is designed for learners with a basic understanding of WordPress development and web technologies.

  1. Experience with WordPress development (themes, plugins).
  2. Basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, and PHP.
  3. No prior experience with React, Angular, or Next.js is required.
  4. A computer with an internet connection.

  • Module 1: WordPress REST API & Headless CMS
    This module will introduce you to the WordPress REST API, enabling you to fetch WordPress data using JSON and connect your WordPress site to modern JavaScript frameworks like React and Angular. You’ll learn how to set up a headless CMS where WordPress acts purely as a content management system, while the front-end is handled by these external applications, giving you full control over the user experience and design.
  • Module 2: Custom Gutenberg Block Development
    Here, you will explore the WordPress Block Editor (Gutenberg) and learn how to create custom blocks using JavaScript and React. You’ll gain hands-on experience in registering these blocks, using Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) to add custom functionalities, and extending the Gutenberg editor to fit specific project needs. This module empowers you to build rich, dynamic content for WordPress sites with a modern approach.
  • Module 3: Full-Stack WordPress Development
    In this module, you will master the process of building WordPress themes using React and Next.js. You’ll explore the implementation of headless WordPress with Next.js, a powerful React framework, allowing you to create fast, dynamic websites that fetch data from WordPress using the WPGraphQL plugin. This full-stack approach combines the flexibility of React and Next.js with the robust content management features of WordPress.
  • Module 4: Security & Performance in Large-Scale WordPress Sites
    Security is a critical aspect of any WordPress website, especially when dealing with large-scale projects. In this module, you’ll learn advanced security practices such as Web Application Firewalls (WAF), implementing SSL, and enabling two-factor authentication (2FA). Additionally, you will focus on performance optimization techniques like load balancing, CDN integration, and managing large user databases to ensure your WordPress site is fast, secure, and scalable.
  • Module 5: DevOps & Automation for WordPress
    This module will introduce you to DevOps practices for WordPress, including Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines using GitHub Actions and WP Engine. You’ll also learn how to Dockerize WordPress for local development, streamlining your workflow, and setting up cloud hosting environments on platforms such as AWS, DigitalOcean, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for seamless deployment and scaling.
  • Final Project
    In the final project, you’ll apply everything you’ve learned throughout the course to build a fully functional headless WordPress-powered application. Using React or Next.js, you’ll create a dynamic front-end that pulls content from WordPress, showcasing your ability to integrate modern technologies and best practices into a powerful, real-world project.
