Designer’s Guide to Magento PDF download

Posted by Tomislav Bilic under Magento @ 6th JUN 2008

After many developed CRE Loaded’s online stores and watching Magento development progress for quite some time, I decided it was time to use Magento with my next client. My starting point for development was official Designer’s guide. I’m the type of guy who likes to have documents nice&clean, so I tried to print it but print was a mess. That’s when I decided to create PDF of the official documentation for easy print. This is probably the best starting tutorial for creating a fresh new Magento template.

Create Wordpress theme from Scratch

If you are a Wordpress newbie and you are willing to learn it, the 1st step would be to find a really good guide of how to create a Wordpress theme from scratch. Small Potato from WPDesigner gives a really detailed tutorial for beginners. Best this about those is that he gives a free PDF download of all 3 book parts.

First part is called How to Design a WordPress Theme where you will find a PDF file containing design instructions, a folder of images (step-by-step screenshots), and a PSD file for you to mess around with.

Second part is How to Slice a WordPress Theme which will help you to deal with layers and CSS.

Last, but not the least, third part is How to Code a WordPress Theme. This part handles PHP programming part.

Even the tutorials are for starters, I believe that even more experienced developers will find many useful hints.
