    Thanks,
    Tawfiq

    This is good that you already learnt HTML and CSS. Now it is time to learn Javascript in order to go for PHP. Wordpress has been made up of PHP. You need to learn object oriented PHP programming to understand how wordpress core files work. W3school can be a good place to learn Javascript and PHP. Codex dot wordpress dot org can be a good resource to learn ins and outs on WordPress. Wish your success.

    Thanks rezaulhuq, Is this necessary to learn jQuery and Ajex before PHP? I heard that it'll be good to learn those first.

    Yes, you can also learn so. But before, Jquery and ajax this is good to learn Javascript. However, you need to understand function, statement and variables of programming language. Object and Class for object oriented programming. The most interesting area you 'll enjoy when you 'll understand how a function is called.

    Thanks

    There are a lot of Youtube to learn from. They are free and easy to follow instruction.

    @Atif123 Thanks for the suggestion, but I already know about w3schools but I think it is good to start but not to be a professional.

    I'm astounded that anyone can learn html and css without learning basic javascript (with a t) at the same time.

    Why have you set a 6 month deadline on becoming a "world class professional"? Have you accepted a paid project with that as the delivery date?

    I'd start with learning some PHP and getting to grips with basic plugin writing - either by writing some yourself or reading and extending plugins others have written.

    You can code Wordpress quite successfully without understanding object oriented programming. A basic understanding will help but don't get too caught up in it. If you move on to working with cakephp or symfony then you'll need it.
    This guy wants to create themes, write plugins and be fully versed in WordPress, he'll need more than html.

    I will suggest try to learn html, javascript, and css to modify your site. Also you can practice on local host for better improvement.

    To become a WordPress expert you need more than learning HTML, css, javascript (including Ajax, jQuery and prototype), PHP and MySql. All these languages and techonologies are required in order to understand how WordPress works. But you also have to learn the logic that wordpress code uses.
    WordPress it self provides several functions, definitions and solutions ($wpdb, get_currentuserinfo(), ABSPATH, HOOKS etc) for developers that you need to learn.
    So if you are in a hurry, google about languages and play alot with them. After that, try creating some simple plugins and templates. In the codex website of wordpress there are instructions for these.
