WDS hasn’t done a giveaway for a while now and we think it’s time to get one going. This time, we are giving away copies of Brian Messenlehner and Jason Coleman‘s recently published book — Building Web Apps with WordPress! If you’re unfamiliar with the book, here’s a quick overview:
WordPress is much more than a blogging platform. As this practical guide clearly demonstrates, you can use WordPress to build web apps of any type—not mere content sites, but full-blown apps for specific tasks. If you have PHP experience with a smattering of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, you’ll learn how to use WordPress plugins and themes to develop fast, scalable, and secure web apps, native mobile apps, web services, and even a network of multiple WordPress sites.
We are giving away 5 digital copies of the book, but we are also giving away 1 hard copy of the book that will be signed by Brian Messenlehner!
So, how do you win this giveaway?
In order to win one of these books, we are asking that you comment on this post with your idea of a web app powered by WordPress. Along with the idea of your app, we want to know what it would be used for and how it would benefit your WordPress site or someone else’s. It can be an idea of an app for yourself or an idea that will help the WordPress community as a whole.
How will we decide who wins?
After the deadline for the giveaway, the team as a whole will look over all of your impressive ideas. The most creative app idea will win the signed hard copy of the book. The remaining 5 digital copies will be given away to those who also have awesome ideas for a web app powered by WordPress.
