If you want to become a high level WordPress developer there is a path that most take. Start with the basic WordPress theme php functions like 'the_title();' learn what that means in terms of PHP, what the parenthesis mean, etc. Then start digging into more PHP and as you grow you will learn new things daily. If you prefer styling, then start with some basic theme changes using CSS (make sure to use a child theme), and move upwards to CSS3, and learning how to use things like Gulp and SASS.
There are many other ways to become a skilled and sought after WordPress developer, we will talk about our paths, what we are doing, where we started, and where we want to go.
