[wp-testers] HTML and CSS or Wordpress?

[Mika A Epstein]

If your goal is to teach 'em how to USE WordPress, start with a basic 'This is how HTML works.'  If the goal is to teach them how to make themes and plugins, start with HTML and CSS, add in PHP and at least a primer in how SQL and PHP together spit out WP pages.

But yeah, they need to know the basics of HTML :)
