I'm still a little bit iffy about Hooks in WP.

I just finished the WordPress Hooks - Actions and Filters course and I'm still not confident in working with them in WP. My question is, does anybody have any recommendations to other material that I could study or look over to better my confidence and understanding about hooks? - Thanks. Spenser

Hooks are a way of "calling" a function in php so you can perform actions or add and remove functionality in a WordPress theme.

Here's a blog from Former Wordpress teacher Zac that goes over asll you need to know about Hooks. http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/hooks-wordpress-actions-filters-examples
