Over the next couple of months, I’m looking forward to speaking at a few different events.
At WordCamp Phoenix on February 25th, I’m presenting “Mastering WordPress Development.” The title lends itself to a number of discussion topics, possibly including coding standards, how to perform migrations, writing bin scripts to manipulate lots of data, participating in open source projects, how to review your code, common mistakes we see at WordPress.com VIP, etc. If you have opinions as to what I should cover, I’d love to hear them in the comments.
On February 27th, Mike Bijon and I will be taking the Portland WordPress Users Group through using Git (and SVN) for version control and working within a team.
At CMA NYC March 18th through 20th, I’ll be leading three sessions (one per day):
- “I Want To Learn WordPress – An Introduction To Key Concepts” – All of the basics you need to get started, including the WordPress interface and key concepts like themes, plugins, PHP and MySQL, and how to choose a good web host and design for your site.
- “Hacking WordPress In The Newsroom” – How to take your WordPress development to the next level. We’ll review version control, coding standards, performance and optimization, debugging, and other best practices.
- “Making The Switch To WordPress” – Everything you need to know about switching to WordPress from CMS X. Well, most everything.
Shaun, Erica, and I will also be hosting a mini-Happiness Bar for a few hours on Monday to help attendees with all of their WordPress questions.
Sweet!
