The Begginer's Guide

Dear WordPress Designers,

I was recently introduced to the world of wordpress and I have to say I love it! The idea of an open source platform with so much design support inspire’s me and as a starting out designer it give’s me more motivation to continue what I love knowing that there is incredible support out there. As I said I am a designer and I would like to take up wordpress theme desigign. Unfortunately I am finding it very hardpressed to get the right tutorials so I want to ask any designers out there if they have a resource that can efficiently teach me how to design a wordpress theme in photoshop and then code it, and I want a tutorial that can guide me every step of they way and assume that I have no prior knolwedge because frankly I dont. Thank you for all your help and I look forward to joining the wordpress community.
