Googled, and failed: Looking for a really good video on WordPress - wordpress

I Hope you can understand my difficulty in finding a really good tutorial video for WordPress. Not sure why, but I'm having a hard time finding some basic stuff in WordPress; like how to create a custom template using CSS. I know CSS, and Html just fine. But instead of just googling every little thing I come across ( i would not follow the trend of asking for help for every little detail) I am looking for a complete and quality video tutorial in WordPress, not just for myself, but for my people.
Since beginning training in Java I've learned it's best to learn broader rather than getting hung up on details, which I can research later, and go back to with references. If I understand the whole concept then when I want to do something specific, I at least know where to start looking on my own. With WordPress I don't have a broad view, and that's what I'm aiming for. Please don't just Google search 'Good WordPress Tutorial Video' and post the first decent looking link. I am looking for recommendations through experience. If you know of a good Tutorial Video Series on WordPress please then consider replying. :) Thank you!

WordPress.org not in video but excellent documentation available!

Wordpress: fit for per-region website? Another better CMS?

I'm looking to help a friend who needs a website for his project. I know wordpress a little, but there might be better options.
The needs are:
- have a splash screen prompting for region (like this site)
- have some pages available only for a given region.
- allow the non-it guy to update the contents.
Wordpress is the only one I know as web design isn't my specialty. I'd have gone for a template like Avada, but again, better leads are more than welcome.
Thanks in advance for your inputs!
Ok, the downvote really helped me and certainly will help other users as there's no comment whatsoever explaining why this post is bad. Don't give leads or guidance by the way.
So, whatever. I found a solution to this. The following plugin works like a charm:

A simple purchase gives total control and removes the watermark. The best part regarding my need was the capability to write custom callback code as explained in this article.

Which Wordpress template is the related to this website?

I am searching a Wordpress template. that would correspond best to this website :

Thank You.
The WordPress Theme Directory and ThemeForest, both provide free and premium themes respectively.
Whilst StackOverflow is an invaluable resource for technical Q&A, please bear in mind that future questions should be tailored to aid your research rather than getting people to do the research for you. You will likely receive a more positive response from others, as well as more likely to get the answer you are looking for.
For example, rather than asking:
Wich Wordpress template is the nearest to this website?
You could ask:
Who knows of any safe and reliable WordPress Theme directories?
The former question is asking others to do the research for you, while the latter is asking people to point you in the right direction to help you undertake your research.
I hope this helps and good luck with your website!
Ok, I think I found a lead here - "Material Design Menu in Wordpress Theme" :

Mobile UI css Designs

This sound off topic but I honestly need a way forward, I have googled for 3 hours now but still no end product, although it might be I am using the wrong key term.
I have seen mobile apps with powerful designs like the foursquare apps etc I am used to using JQM default themes but I want to learn and be more creative with my themes. I have being looking for a crash course or any tutorials online but I have so far failed to spot one.
Please, does anyone have a link to one? Please if you do, provide it for me and you will be saving me hours of searching the net.
I am not really a professional on css but I am trying.
I think what you are looking for is just inspiration. You can check out my pinterest feed.

wordpress options categories

Let me start of by saying I am a total noob when it comes to PHP and all the lovely stuff you need to make a real good theme. I got pretty far - mostly thanks to posts here -, but now I am a bit stuck. So here it comes:
I have a index page with multiple loops. Naturally I want to give the user the option to choose which category displays in which loop.
I have found some code already but nothing really that I understand or was able to get to work.
I'd much appreciate a link to a tutorial or a solution here. I am looking of a solution that is code based, in other words i don’t want to use plugins.
thanks!
Okay, after many more hours of just trying and searching the god of google let me to find this page:

it help me and just about all works now!

Who do I make CSS development suggestions to?

I've got what i think it a useful idea for CSS development but I'm unsure where to make my suggestion or to whom it should be directed.
Is there a universal inbox for CSS improvement suggestions at the W3C? I know it will take forever to get suggestions drafted, tested and put into the CSS specs but there is no time like the present...
The W3C has a Participation FAQ that you might be interested in, but if your idea is development-related, does it really need to be a part of the specification? Or is it the sort of thing that developers of popular (CSS-related, web development) tools could simply add support for?
Rather than going directly to the W3C, I'd suggest first trying to get some more exposure for your idea. Write up a blog post describing it, submit it to some popular sites like A List Apart, Hacker News, or Reddit -- basically, get as many eyes on your idea as you can.
If your suggestion really is a good one, it'll help to gain momentum by getting a lot of attention. Or, if it's a bad idea, you'll quickly find out by having people "review" it. You'll likely get some good suggestions to improve the idea, and you'll definitely spend your time better getting peer feedback than somehow trying to singlehandedly champion it to the W3C.
