Welcome

- [Morten] Hello, and welcome to WordPress: Building Themes from Scratch Using Underscores. I'm Morten Rand-Hendriksen, and I'll be your guide as we build a new custom WordPress theme from scratch using the Underscores starter theme. We'll start by setting up a development environment, use Gulp, the task runner, to process all our code, and discuss the design process and configure Underscores to meet our needs. Then we'll build a theme piece-by-piece by breaking it down into sections, including the header, menus, Single Posts comments, images, index pages and more.

We'll spend some time working with pages and widgets, and finally, we'll wrap everything up with a chapter on the Customizer and focus on new features like Responsive Images. Knowing how to build custom WordPress themes using Underscores means you can build pretty much anything you want, and I'm here to show you how to do it right. We got a lot of ground to cover, so clear your head, take a deep breath, and let's get crackin' with WordPress: Building Themes from Scratch Using Underscores.
