Workshop Session 2

Each workshop session includes two workshops – you will find more details about each of the workshops in this session here. You can sign up for the workshops at the WordCamp registration desk.

Speed up your theme development with GruntJS

Presented by Tomaž Zaman in Workshop Session 2.

If you haven’t heard yet, task runners are all the rage this days when it comes to frontend development. However, not many WordPress developers are familiar with them, so Tomaž will be presenting both an introduction to GruntJS (the most popular task runner) and it’s benefits for the developers as well as a hands on course on how to get started and how to most effectively use it for theme development. After this workshop, you’ll wonder how you managed to live without it! 🙂

Building your first WordPress plugin

Presented by Hugh Lashbrooke in Workshop Session 2.

Developing a WordPress plugin isn’t as daunting as it sounds. In this workshop, Hugh will show you how to get started with the code, provide some helpful tips and show you how to get your plugin added to the WordPress.org repository. You will be building a brand new plugin from start to finish in this workshop.

Who is this workshop for?

This workshop is for any developers who would like to get started building their first WordPress plugin, but just don’t quite know where to begin.
