This Summer! :)

We’re working on it now, and want to take the time needed for a quality job rather than just crank it out. As a release date begins to emerge, we’ll post an update here at digwp.com :)

For the DiW v3.0, I’d love to see tricks on how to make sure one’s WP theme is compatible with the latest WordPress version. This will be a great tip for some of us newbie.

Hi!

I love this site and CSS-tricks.. almost bought the book right now, but I have 2 questions/concerns:

1) If you’re going to update for 3.0, I’m uncertain as to whether I should just wait for the update before buying/reading it.. any good reason not to?

2) I’m really into starting to use WP as a CMS for non-blog sites. As that chapter is not part of the preview, I wanted to know how much it was discussed; I know it’s not the focus of WP nor of the book, but stil…

Thanks!

  Hi Richard,
  
  1) Everyone who buys the book gets free lifetime updates. So when new versions roll out, you’re the first to get it. We are updating the book for WP3 and plan to release this Summer. No good reason not to get it now ;)
  
  2) The book contains an entire chapter on extending WordPress, including a section on WordPress as CMS. More information here.

    Hi!
    
    Thanks for your reply. I realize that there’s a chapter on using WP as a CMS in the book, but it’s not the focus of the book (and I’m not suggesting that it should be), so I was just wondering if there was going to be more on that aspect in the update or not.
    
    Thanks!
