What you need for this book

You'll need a working installation of WordPress on a server, or on your local machine (using MAMP, WampServer, EasyPHP, and so on). WordPress can be downloaded from the link, http://wordpress.org/download/.

You need to have minimal knowledge of XHTML and CSS, PHP and JavaScript.

You also need an FTP client for uploading files. I recommend Cyberduck (http://cyberduck.ch/) for Mac and Filezilla (http://filezilla-project.org/) for both GNU/Linux and Windows platforms.
