 * I just took a WordPress course and started building very simple WordPress themes
   to practice, basically I download a free bootstrap template I can find online
   and convert it to WP, I use Advanced Custom Fields and Custom Post Type plugin
   most of the time. However some of these templates have a image slider, portfolio
   gallery, skills bar, twitter/testimonial carousel, tabs and accordion etc. which
   are powered by jQuery. When it comes to making the template dynamic how do WP
   developers deal with those? is it done using a WP plugin or they are manually
   coded?

 * It can be either. It all depends on the requirements for the theme, or who ever
   you’re building the theme for. I know it sounds ad, but this is one of those 
   times when there’s no one “right” answer, just lots of different right answers
   depending on individual requirements.
