\n\t\t\t\t\tBlazingly Fast Freedom: Headless WordPress and GatsbyJS\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Presented by Alex Gustafson<\/a> in Room 1 – 3rd Floor.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

GatsbyJS has become quite the darling in front-end web development. It runs off popular new technology like React, Webpack, and GraphQL. It generates blazingly fast static sites that are cheap to host and scale. You can use it to make a quick website or an intricate web application. But most importantly it works with almost any data source out there. Enter WordPress from stage left.<\/p>\n

WordPress lets the modern developer provide the intuitive, customizable back-end experience that content creators love to use. Headless WordPress provides that same experience while allowing for any front-end development of choice. For your efforts making these ends meet, your visitors are rewarded with sites that load quickly and have the same content awareness they expect from a WordPress site.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\tConfidently Testing WordPress\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Presented by Steve Grunwell<\/a> in Room 1 – 3rd Floor.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

WordPress is a tightly-coupled system, representing over a decade and a half of ideas, decisions, technological shifts, and ideological struggles. There\u2019s a lot of history to be parsed and often the simplest task can have unintended consequences.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, automated testing is one of the best ways to ensure software can be released regularly with high confidence and low risk of regressions. Sadly, the leap from \u201cbuilding WordPress plugins\u201d to \u201cbuilding WordPress plugins with tests\u201d is often viewed as a challenging hurdle. Luckily, there are tools to set up a test harness within an existing codebase with ease.<\/p>\n

This talk introduces the fundamentals of automated testing, especially within the context of WordPress. After developing an understanding why automated testing is so critical, attendees will learn how to begin testing their plugins and themes, using features found both in PHPUnit and the WordPress core testing framework, to build and release quality software.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t

In 1786 Benjamin Franklin said there are two certainties in life: Death and Taxes. Another certainty can be added: Change. It is important for you to understand what impact the change in the tax law will have on your WordPress business. We will build your tax knowledge by exploring ways that you can take advantage of all the allowable IRS personal and business deductions. We will look at the new tax rates and brackets, explain the Section 199A Qualified Business Income, and address different business structures. You\u2019ll learn that taxes are fun, not boring.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t

It\u2019s 2019. Everyone uses their phones to access website, and most every site is now mobile friendly. But, was that site created with the desktop or mobile view in mind. Learn how having a mobile-first website will bring a site to the next level, both in the eyes of the visitors and Google.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t

As perfectionists, admit it, you are one, we can spend hours on a site to get it just so. What if there was a way to achieve Just So, but faster? I want to dive into the time saving features a builder can offer. Not to mention the increased revenue streams buy using a builder. Don\u2019t let the idea of builder keep you away from the freedom it can provide. Come see what the builder business is all about!<\/p>\n

Major takeaway would be to expose the general audience to the the time saving and integration features that are already in a builder eliminating the use of extra plugins and preventing vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t

Has a client ever wasted your time in a consulting session? Ever had a one-hour consultation turn into 3? Have you experienced the sinking feeling that comes when you leave the consultation and realize you failed to ask a key question? This talk provides answers to these issues and more. Attendees will leave with a clear, memorable outline to manage the client consultation.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t

It used to be that WordPress required a very different toolset than other types of modern PHP apps. Now, however, PHP developers can use many of the same tools to work with WordPress that they would use with Laravel or any other PHP framework.<\/p>\n

In this talk, we\u2019ll look at how to modernize development of WordPress sites by using Bedrock to give us a modern stack, WP-CLI to interface with WordPress through the command line or even create scripts to run operations, how to use composer and plugins specifically designed for developers, and ways to deploy WordPress that are easier and more stable than FTP. In addition, we\u2019ll talk about new considerations that Javascript is bringing to the WordPress ecosystem.<\/p>\n

Come take a look at how the WordPress ecosystem is maturing in 2019 and beyond!<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t

WordPress is a powerful tool to help businesses and community organizations of any size communicate with the people they wish to serve. But having a website is not enough. Instead of using a website solely as a catalog or sales brochure that focuses only on your products and services, website owners should turn the spotlight on to their customers, who are searching online for information that helps them solve business and personal challenges. WordPress, because it\u2019s so accessible to users of all skill levels, is the perfect platform for businesses and groups to regularly share insights and how-to details that their end-users crave. In this session, you will learn about five ways to use WordPress and third-party plugins that make it easier for you to publish more articles, infographics, photos and videos that meet your audience\u2019s information needs.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t
