Shopify is one of the fastest-growing eCommerce platforms, which means developers familiar with the Liquid concept are needed now more than ever. This book will help you to build a solid foundation by enabling you to develop your skills from the ground up by gaining essential theoretical knowledge of Liquid and putting that knowledge to use through hands-on projects. Shopify Theme Customization with Liquid begins by helping you get to grips with basic Shopify information, its interface and theme structure, setting up your Partner account, and creating a child theme, which is essential when preparing for any future work on Shopify.
