Migrating to WordPress from Dot Net Core

  • I am new to WordPress and I want to migrate a dot net core 2.2 application to WordPress, for several reasons.
    The site to be migrated is mostly web pages with forms. I have all the db specific code that I could reuse in a webservice to tie to the database, or I can start from scratch.
    I don’t see much information on how to read/write to a database from a form, manage security, etc. Or how to get started using Php. (For example, is there an editor that is generally used.) (Or would I use Javascript?)
    I have been developing for 30 years, but haven’t used Php for 20. Please provide a “getting started in wordpress for experienced developers” link if you know of one, or any other useful information for this situation.
    Just knowing if I should use Php or Javascript or something else would be a good start.
    thanks

  • Are you sure that WordPress is the platform for the site in question?
    The software is in PHP, with some JS for the editors and Customizer, and small interaction stuff in the admin.

    There is a sandbox site here: https://wpsandbox.net/
    or you can install on your computer to test.

    There’s no generic documentation for getting started developing, but you can read the old Codex (parts have been migrated to Support) which is the Documentation link on this page, and the Plugin Developers Handbook. The Code Reference is useful. And the various APIs and other things like Themes are listed on the home page of that.

    The best resource for how to do things is to search the Plugin repository, and either use the plugin or read its code to see how it’s done.

    this is the manual for the importer, WordPress uses two languages, php server side and javascript client side, has also created a block editor in javascript Gutenberg and the rest api useful for expert users.
    I don’t think it’s possible to turn windows.forms into php different speech for html content. https://www.ads-software.com/support/article/importing-content/ ( html, xml, csv etc)
