Hi @mohamed-khaled, 

Thanks for expressing your interest in learning about theme development. 

I recommend starting with Shopify Development Fundamentals. This course covers the basics of the frontend development at Shopify, with a focus on the theme development.

To dive deeper into optimizing a Shopify theme using Liquid, you can explore the Liquid Storefronts for Theme Developers learning path.

We've also put together a bunch of resources in the developer docs. Check out Create a Theme to get started and put your new skills into practice.

Thank you, Before watching these courses, do I need to first learn design languages ​​such as HTML, CSS, JAVA SCRIPT, and other languages? With Glam I have knowledge in HTML and CSS

No problem!

There are no required prerequisites for Development Fundamentals. That said, prior development experience will be helpful, especially: HTML tags and structure, Semantic HTML, CSS stylesheets, JavaScript, REST APIs.
