On June 5, 2010 I spoke at WordCamp Chicago on Building Child Themes. Below are some resources on child themes that I thought might be useful if you are setting out to build a child theme.
- My Building Child Themes Slides
- Thirty Ten, a Twenty Ten Child Theme
- Codex Page on Child Themes
- Thematic, a theme framework that I enjoy working with
If you have any questions about my slides, feel free to ask them here.

Hey Aaron,
I am an aspiring web developer (just got a grip around the HTML and CSS pretty good and have started to delve into the WordPress PHP and file structure), and really like your stuff here and would like to learn more about creating child themes. I am not that well versed around PHP, but I want to study it through WP. Do you have any more links, tips or tutorials that could be useful?
Best Regards,
Chris
I have an article http://aaron.jorb.in/blog/2010/01/you-better-know-the-basics/ that covers the different languages of WordPress and has some links for each one. I’d encourage you to check that out.

This definitely gives me a better idea of editing current themes that I work with, such as the Thirty Ten child theme. Though learning the basics of wordpress design is going to take some time, especially the PHP Mysql part.
