I’m sure Steve would love to hear that. Back to my post * //////////// * I am a web developer. I came to wordpress.org because I am interested in integrating the wordpress framework into my existing site. I found it to be a frustrating experience (the learning part), mostly because at wordpress.org it was hard to find the information I wanted. * I see it this way: WP basically has two customers 1) The person who knows nothing about web development. The “layman” 2) The experienced web developer. The “developer.” * The information WP displays to these two (very different) customers (regarding use / integration) should be very different. For example, all of “the Loop” lingo is laughable to a developer, yet I understand it is completely necessary for the layman. * What I would LOVE is a “How WP works. How to use it. How to integrate it.” page that is split into two columns * COL 1:

I know nothing about web development. Speak my language.

* COL 2:

I know PHP, MySQL, CSS, HTML,… give me the real deal.

* And from here, the “layman” and the “developer” are directed to different pages written with a completely different tone / vocab / etc. Being a developer, I would love to see a simple API-like set of methods / classes / etc with examples that show how to integrate the WP framework into my existing site. I mean, really, what developer wants to use a canned WP template? Probably not many. So this information should not be front and center. * That said, the layman doesn’t ever want to see the words “class” “method”, etc. They care about templates, themes, blah blah. * Anyways, this distinction wouldn’t be hard to make, and I think it would help BOTH types of WP customers by hiding the information each of them are not interested in reading. * Sincerely, Chris * [Clayton James](https://wordpress.org/support/users/claytonjames/) * (@claytonjames) * [15 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpressorg-website/#post-1563168) * > am a web developer.

One example is fine, but I’d love to see lots of examples – kind of like the jQuery.com website. And the pages you link above have “the Loop” terminology… hardly a ‘developer’ page. My point is that it seems like the WP docs are geared to a two-tiered audience, and they could make it a lot better for both by separating it. * Thread Starter [cnanders](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cnanders/) * (@cnanders) * [15 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpressorg-website/#post-1563174) * Found what I’m looking for: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Developer_Documentation](http://codex.wordpress.org/Developer_Documentation) * [Clayton James](https://wordpress.org/support/users/claytonjames/) * (@claytonjames) * [15 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpressorg-website/#post-1563175) * Anyone can contribute or suggest ideas.
