Hey it's Alex. Your WordPress teacher.

I’m Alex, founder of DeoThemes and a WordPress developer with 8+ years of experience.

I’ve been struggling to learn Gutenberg block development since its official release. I almost gave up… I watched courses on Udemy, read documentation, but still was not sure how to apply it for real projects.

When I created Ona theme in 2021 (full site editing was still in beta), WP Tavern wrote about it twice on their blog.

I noticed that the industry is shifting towards blocks and FSE, and it is the future of WordPress.

I started to build more sites with blocks and created a few block plugins. Then something finally clicked: I realized that you don’t need to know advanced concepts of block development to build modern websites. 

In November 2024 I secured 2nd place with Ona theme on AnyoneCanWP Hackathon organized by InstaWP.

In the upcoming years more and more sites will be built with blocks and FSE, so now is the perfect time to learn it. 

I’ve spent countless hours mastering block editor and block development. Now, I want to share everything I know with you. So let’s start your amazing journey to become a WordPress Pro.

Frequently asked questions

You should have:

  • Basic knowledge of PHP
  • Basic understanding of JavaScript/jQuery/React
  • Familiarity with HTML/Sass/CSS
  • Basic knowledge of WordPress API like WP_Query or get_post_meta

Basic React knowledge is recommended. While we’ll review key React concepts used in block development, this isn’t a React fundamentals course. Understanding components, props, and state will help you get the most out of the material.

The course is designed for developers who understand JavaScript fundamentals. While we use React in block development, you don’t need to be a React expert.

The course is currently in development, with the first module launching in early January 2024. New modules will be released regularly, with the complete course expected to be available by the end of March. Students who enroll early will get access to modules as they’re released.
