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.
