Wordpress Developers?

Hi everyone. I am a nonprofit administrator and musician, self-taught developer (only started in May 2019 through Free Code Camp and tons of medium articles). I have only barely touched upon advanced concepts, but I am pretty solid on HTML, CSS, basic/intermediate Javascript and algorithms. I also took it upon myself to build a to-do app with MERN stack.

But anyway, I decided to just browse around and see if there were companies who would hire an intern who could help out remotely to continue learning code. And to my surprise, a mid-west company decided to hire me after a few interviews, not only as an intern, but an Assistant Project Manager/Developer.

The only thing is, I won't get to really practice my coding skills because this is a Wordpress based company. But I thought, at least I am getting my foot in the door in the tech field! I know how to update content and manage pages, make tweaks and things, but much more than that. My humble question is, now that I won't be really coding a lot for the time being, is there a recommended "Wordpress for Developer" book anyone would recommend so I can feel solid on Wordpress?

I plan on still building projects on the side so I don't lose my fullstack skills!

Thanks in advance, guys.

Wow. Just wanted to share that I just landed my first "intern" job, remotely! I have only started FreeCodeCamp in May 2019, and I am only 3/4 way through. A web dev company, although mostly using Wordpress decided to hire me on as an intern, paid, to try me out. Hopefully I will keep studying coding on the side to get myself ready for a web developer front-end or full-stack job!
