As the title implies it covers using WordPress as your application framework. I highly recommend this book even if you are not building a web app. The author does a great job of breaking down complex development techniques that are useful regardless of how you plan to use WordPress. I found learning about how to use built in functions the most helpful. Did not realize how much WordPress provides for you as far as development goes.

If you want to build a web application, you need to consider WordPress as a framework because WordPress and its numerous plugins may provide you with many useful built-in functionalities. If you want to build a web application based on WordPress, you definitely need to read this book.The book has provided me with a guide to build a complete web application using WordPress as a framework; from user management, data manipulation, through back-end and front-end user interfaces. The resulting application will not be a toy application, but an industrial-strength application.The book taught me advanced techniques with the emphasis of a good design. The author thoughtfully discussed about the issues of usability (good user interfaces), code reusability, performance, etc. as any large application would require.However, the book is not for a beginner. Despite the author's best intention to explain the basics, I was stuck as early as in Chapter 2 because I lacked the knowledge of WordPress Core. Only after I had read another excellent book (WordPress Design and Development by Brad Williams, et.al.), I could continue with this book (WordPress Web Application Development by Ratnayake). This is understandable because Ratnayake's book contains so much advanced information about building a large application. It simply has no enough room to cater more basic knowledge.I have finished with this book, and I am glad that now I have the confidence to build a complete WordPress web application.
