General description

Did you know that 20% of internet is actually made in WordPress? Yeah, that’s a lot of sites and blogs. It is because of its easy, user friendly and likeable interface. We decided to have WordPress as a topic of our summer course in order to make that percent even bigger!

On the course, you’ll be able to discover secret world of plug-ins and after that, maybe, you’ll be the next one who’ll rule the world of plug-ins. You’ll find out how to create your own themes so you can make your first step in the WordPress industry.

Besides these interesting and exceptionally useful and helpful lessons, we have a plan to make best BEST summer parties, go to our beach in Belgrade (yeah, we don’t have a sea, but there is a beach), get you closer to our culture and everyday crazy party time!

So don't hesitate, apply and get ready to come and taste WordPress on Serbian way!
