Hi, What is the best course (not online) to do in WordPress development?

I would like to become very efficient in WordPress Theme development and want to know if there is a well known course that teaches just wordpress theme development. I am hoping to learn very difficult concepts like creating plugins and also adding to the main nav my own apps that run inside the admin menu such as creating a portfolio creator.
Thank you

WordPress TRAFFIC BOOSTER PLUGIN

miniurl.org Click on this link to download miniurl.org And then click on this link for password The Related Sites WordPress plugin is released in the GPL. Any blogger can now basically utilize the plugin to display relevant links from around the world wide web directly on their site & without the tedium normally associated with the method. This is an unprecedented opportunity to increase traffic in an organic way without using spam tactics or anything that could dilute the quality of a weblog. These unique traffic opportunities exist for members & users of the plugin only. Here is the way it works. After installing the Related Sites plugin, it will auto-install various links to related posts from other “Related Website” member sites, displaying them at the foot of each historically in the past published post. This is the most elegant, out-of-the-box, & organic method for building traffic & refining your user experience from anything else currently available. See it in action now on this weblog!

Advice regarding dreamweaver vs. wordpress?

I need some advice. I have been designing my site with dreamweaver for 1.5 years. I’ve noticed many other successful blog / site owners use wordpress. I recently had to try wordpress for someone I work for, uploading all his articles onto his blog. It is very easy, organized, and much easier to use than dreamweaver… but doesn’t look as good (not professional looking) and is far too common. I don’t think you can put google ads or other ads where you want either (like in the header image, etc.)

In my opinion, both have benefits, but the more successful people I know that blog seem to use wordpress (shoemoney.com, entrepreneurs-journey.com, johnchow.com, whateverlife.com, etc.)

Does anyone have a preference for dreamweaver/ original well-designed html websites, or wordpress? Are wordpress blogs / sites really that much easier to make successful?
