Hi Diego Villaseñor,

I just completed PHP Basics and working on PHP Functions. So, I would recommend to start from PHP Basics than follow up with PHP Functions to have better foundation on PHP.

Hi Ogulcan, actually I was coursing that track, but when I got to the "WP Theme Development" introduction, Zac mentioned that some PHP knowledge was required fr that particular subject, and that's why I'm asking.

with some basic PHP understanding you should be fine until the course -WP Hooks Actions and Fiters- or even until -How to make a WP Plugin-
