A Definitive Guide to Building Your First Gutenberg Block

With the coming release of WordPress 5.0, we’re all getting ready for one of the biggest events in WordPress history: Gutenberg. Whether you’re excited or terrified, understanding the basic mechanics of the Gutenberg Block API is going to become a must for your business as well as for engineers who are building custom WordPress experiences for clients. In this workshop, I’ll take you through building your first Gutenberg block, step by step. We’ll then expand upon what you’ve built using further examples in order to show you the true power behind Gutenberg.

Please note that this is a technical workshop, a base understanding of Javascript, PHP and some general tinkering with Gutenberg would be beneficial but not required.
