Building a website was once the domain of computer geeks. Not any more. Wordpress makes it possible for anyone to create and run a professional looking website.
While Wordpress is an amazing tool, the truth is it does have a steep learning curve, even if you have built websites before. Therefore, the goal of this book is to take anyone, even a complete beginner and get them building a professional looking website. I'll hold your hand, step-by-step, all the way.

The most important thing to learn about Wordpress when starting out is that you should not be using Wordpress. The project is run by clowns.
Suggested alternatives??
Probably a Wix man.
I hate off the self CMSes in general. But in a previous life when I was a web developer, before my role changed to be software engineer, I preferred Drupal, was more developer focused than the fantasy of "leave everything up to Joe the plumber" to mange and update his site and custom plugins.
A headless CMS.
What's so bad about it?
That's a zany cover that doesn't instill a lot of confidence for making a good site?
Maybe the author hasn't read his other "amazing" book, CSS :: CSS for Beginners: Learn to Tweak Your Website Design (Webmaster Series Book 6)?
Sad, because that one is $0 as well so he should be able to access it
Note that this book was published in 2014. There's been a LOT of changes in WordPress since then.
Don't waste your time with Wordpress.
Learn Node or Django.This guy gets it.
Wordpress is fine if you're doing a simple site, same as the others. Many people don't want nor need code— they just want to put up a static site. WP is okay for that, as are the others (Wix, etc).
Within WP, you can absolutely build a child-theme and do what you wish. Not getting the hate for WP, actually?
What makes this book a better deal than any of the thousands that have been made free recently?
