Many of our WP Durham group members join because they want to learn more about WordPress. They might be absolute beginners, longtime users, aspiring developers, ambitious entrepreneurs, or a little bit of each.
We can’t cover everything in our meetups, but we can point you in the right direction for learning more on your own.
Here are a handful of free resources to get you started with learning WordPress:
