So you’ve been developing in WordPress for quite a while, or maybe you’re just getting used to the paradigms. WordPress packs a powerful punch, but just how far have you ventured into the codebase? Let Otto and Nacin explain and demonstrate some of their favorite concepts and tools available, including advanced querying on taxonomies and metadata, mucking with the filesystem and URL rewriting, caching using transients, and working with media and embeds.
This presentation targets for intermediate and advanced developers of plugins and themes. We’ll be introducing a number of our favorite advanced concepts, so developers new to WordPress are guaranteed to feel no more lost than anyone else. It might help if you have a short attention span, as it’ll be fast-paced.
About Nacin and Otto
Nacin and Otto are contributing developers to WordPress and Tech Ninjas at Matt Mullenweg’s Audrey Capital, where they work on WordPress.org and other fun projects. Between the two of them, they’ve contributed to nearly every aspect of the WordPress.org community, including support, documentation, and code contributions (don’t ask them to design anything), and are usually pretty good about fixing more things than they break. They’re both headstrong developers and agree on quite a bit, but bring some popcorn for when they don’t.
Otto lives in Memphis, Tennessee, the Birthplace of Rock and Roll, while Nacin lives among journalists and politicos in Washington, D.C. Their primary responsibilities at Audrey include locating the best BBQ joints and beer (Otto homebrews), so you can see why they love WordPress and open source.
