Here is a Udemy course on sale for 10.99 normally 175.00 (in four days) on theme development with Bootstrap.

Some Books:

> **[WordPress%20Theme%20Development,%203rd%20Edition.pdf](https://www.doc-developpement-durable.org/file/Projets-informatiques/cours-&-manuels-informatiques/Wordpress/WordPress%20Theme%20Development,%203rd%20Edition.pdf)**
>
> 18.79 MB

Some more books here. The are old but there is probably useful information in them that can be adapted.

[https://ebooks-it.org/1430259140-ebook.htm](https://ebooks-it.org/1430259140-ebook.htm)

I would invest in Digging Into Wordpress and the Tao of Wordpress. Worth the investment.

>
> WordPress Book for Beginners, Designers, Students, and Everyone - A Complete Guide to Mastering WordPress

And here is a _rather out of date_ book but A LOT of the principles remain the same…  
just the code/ codex … stuff will need re doing, so might drive you nuts.

however, its free…  
oh and a few months too late too probably but HEY!  
did I mention its free?

The best _out of date_ things are worth waiting for 😛
