In the WordPress course do you have to edit the HTML, CSS, and javaScript or do you just do the WordPress part.

I was just wondering.

In most cases, you will only have to make minor edits to all of these and will mostly be concerned with learning the WordPress development side of things.

However you’ll need to have some understanding of how to use HTML, CSS and JS so you can develop websites and then port them over to WordPress themes. You’ll use a WordPress function to enqueue scripts and styles so they work the same way,

Will you also have to know some back-end development?

You may need to understand how WordPress interacts with mySQL databases, yes.. but PHP is a backend language so that will be part of your development. :)
