Wordpress vs coding - why devs SHOULD learn Wordpress

I learned Wordpress about 2-3 years ago, then I felt like I really needed to learn "real" coding, so I spent the last year on HTML and all the complex layout techniques in CSS/Sass, and also got to around intermediate level with JavaScript. Coding is great, but I can tell the time and energy commitment is so much more than Wordpress that hand-coding may not be the right choice for all projects. Wordpress is definitely worth keeping it in your pocket.

From watching other videos I'm given to believe that although the WordPress job market might not be wonderful, WordPress is still great for freelance web developers, some of whom make a very good living with it. Anway, as a technically minded user and dev wannabe who has dabbled in programming, this video is by far the most informative I've seen on WordPress.

You have made my day, your explanation about the need to learn WordPress is awesome. I have been building websites for 4 years, using HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, etc. Didn't want to learn WordPress because I felt it will probably make me a lazy developer. But your video has changed my notion. Thanks for sharing. Cheers

Wow. This is such a terrific distillation, I am blown away. This answered so many small questions I've had about WP vs HTML/CSS/JS . . . Thank you so much for making this video and just cutting to the real meat of the discussion. It's validated many of my observations. You are a gifted teacher and I can see you are really talented at communicating a wide-ranging understanding of this. Few people seem to grasp the forest from the trees and you demonstrate this solidly. . . Thank you again for boiling this down so well and giving people a chance to learn and enter this job market. In this economy, rare people like you are rapidly lifting people up into hopefulness. I am not sappy, but I hope you reap tremendous rewards for your educational efforts, they are significant contributions, brother! Cheers!

They both have their advantages, Wordpress you can build websites quickly on the fly whereas coding from scratch you'll need time. At the same time with your custom website if there are any bugs you can remedy.

Thankyou so much for this video, only a few months into web development here and can say whole heartedly this video clarified so much!

Great Explanation! If you could just add an info about what users can stock on or what issues developers can face when they are using a WordPress - then it would be even better. Thanks

Man! What amazing channel! Thank for your time here with us💐❤️

🙏 Thanks to your channel, I sent it to my son… I am retired and at 61 now. Wordpress gave me lot of extra income since 2010, creating website for my friends and relatives and later on clients around the world. After 1 month of learning Wordpress, HTML & CSS, in2010, I applied a franchise to resell web host, domains SSL, etc, where I placed all my web clients. My residual monthly income is so awesome to imagine. 💕

I always was wondering about this topic and now I fully understand concepts and differences between wordpress and plane code. Thank You for posting and making this video! Luv🤟

Super informative and clarifying video, I'm 2 years late to seeing it! But definitely glad I checked this one out.

This is the most accurate point of view on WP i found and what we should tell to new self-taught web developpers. If you want to work in a small web agency, WP is just perfect. But for working in a company who makes some Research & Development in web services or something like that, you need to be able to technically build wordpress yourself. This isn't the same path neither the same investment.

Your absolutely correct! WordPress really saves a lot of time providing us all this feature rich functions. Developing this from ground up would eat a lot of development time.

This is the video I really needed to watch! Thank you so much :)

Such a great explanation bro, I just started my internship and now i know a lot about this topic! 😀
