how to master wordpress theming?

I have recently finished up learning PHP/MySQL,css3,xhtml and Photoshop.And now i want to create themes for WordPre开发者_Python百科ss.So please suggest me some ideas...

I would start by downloading some of the popular themes, (such as cutline) and looking through the source.

It's essential to understand the loop, the template hierarchy, and the widget system.

Keep the template tags and function reference docs handy (there's a function for most things you could want to do).

I suggest you to read Digging into wordpress by Chris Coyer and Jeff Star. It's a great guide for learning wordpress and it also provides a great section dedicated to wordpress theming.
