In this session, we'll be introducing a powerful theme building framework and developer workflow. This "starter solution" was made with developer efficiency and the ultimate DNN theme performance in mind. Most DNN themes in the marketplace today are loaded with bloat, which can make theming a pain, and for someone new to DNN, almost impossible. We will outline basic usage, modification, and advanced usage of this framework and developer workflow. And don't worry if you are new to DNN theme development. We will introduce fundamental theme development in DNN.
