Be a Customer Service Superstar with Customized WP-Admin
When you work in WP-Admin every day, it’s wicked easy to navigate. But for users who are new to WordPress or only update their sites occasionally, the admin area can be full of WordPress-centric-lingo and not very intuitive. If you’ve created a customized front-end experience, why not take a few extra moments and tighten up the admin? It’s not difficult to make users happier and reduce the number of questions you get! We’ll cover customizing via both plugins and code, adding your own help documentation to the admin, and current best practices.
Prerequisites:
This talk is for individuals who are developing sites for other editors. The focus is directed at intermediate developers who wish to create their own WordPress admin customizations, but will touch on appropriate plugins to mimic the same functionality.
Beyond UX: Designing for Delight
Come and learn the secrets to designing a WordPress site (or a mobile app) that your audience will love. What do you need to include to ensure that visitors experience not just a user-friendly site, but one they actively enjoy? How do you create something they immediately want to share with their social networks? How do you satisfy repeat visitors, and keep them coming back for more?
Understand the business case for delight so that you can convince your team of it’s value and prove it’s worth to your clients.
Prerequisites:
Open to all levels: beginner to advanced. Designers, Bloggers, Businesses and Developers are all welcome.
Building Client Side Web Applications with WordPress and WP-API
I will talk about the merits of using Client Side technologies when building out a web application. With WP-API moving its way into core and getting better, building web applications with WordPress is becoming more feasible, and easier. JavaScript MVC frameworks have exploded in popularity over the past couple years and I will show that they can be used to build with WordPress, in faux MVC setup. I hope people learn the value in the WP-API, if they did not already, and when client side can be a better option for a custom build.
Prerequisites:
I will cover the basics of everything including what is WP-API and the basics on how it works (responses, etc.)

Discussion entre blogueuses : « la parole des femmes sur le Web » Élise Desaulniers s’entretient avec Marianne Prairie.
Marianne Prairie a découvert sa vocation féministe à l’université après avoir constaté l’absence des femmes dans les nouvelles technologies. Tout en menant une carrière de gestionnaire de projet web indépendante, elle fait partie du quintette artistique et humoristique Les Moquettes Coquettes, groupe qui a sévi à la télévision, à la radio, sur les planches, dans la presse et sur le web.
Pendant sa première grossesse en 2007, elle crée le blogue Ce que j’ai dans le ventre qu’elle continue toujours d’alimenter au rythme des frasques familiales et des aberrations entourant « l’être mère ». L’année suivante, elle lance avec une amie le blogue collectif Je suis féministe, une plateforme d’expression pour les jeunes féministes francophones, devenu au fil des ans un incontournable du web féministe (tous des projets réalisés sous WordPress !)
Au printemps 2015, Marianne Prairie et Élise Desaulniers faisaient partie de la quarantaine de blogueuses québécoises à co-signer un billet collectif intitulé « Misogynie 2.0: harcèlement et violence en ligne » où elles dénonçaient l’omniprésence du cybersexisme dans nos conversations en-ligne. Prendre la parole sur le Web, bloguer, c’est souvent s’exposer au paternalisme, au « mansplaining », à des attaque à notre intégrité physique.
Quelle est la réalité des femmes qui prenne parole en-ligne ? Comment gérer les commentaires sur nos blogues? Le public a t-t-il un rôle à jouer ? Et la technologie ? Est-il possible de faire en sorte d’encourager l’expression personnelle et la conversation constructive tout en protégeant les personnes vulnérables? C’est la discussion qu’elles souhaitent avoir avec les participantEs du WordCamp.
Préalables:
Ouvert à toutes et à tous.

The biggest and best-known ecommerce solution for WordPress does everything. It’s flexible, extendable, and almost infinitely configurable. It’s a Swiss Army Knife with 276 blades. But if all you need is a bottle opener, do you really need to walk around with a 2kg knife in your pocket?
We’ll talk about the things you need to consider when choosing an ecommerce solution. I’ll give you a list of questions to help you decide. And we’ll discuss some of the available WordPress ecommerce products so you can make an informed decision.
Prerequisites:

Don’t Let It Die On The Vine: Essential Tips For Managing Your New WordPress Site
So you’ve got yourself a shiny new WordPress website. Great! So, er, now what? If you’re feeling intimidated by your new bundle of technological joy, this is the session for you. Fear is the number one killer of WordPress websites but technology doesn’t have to be the monster under the bed. Learn about the pitfalls new WordPress owners face and get strategies to nip them in the bud: from dealing with backups & updates to security measures and remembering to renew your hosting package (yes, really!).
WordPress can be a powerful tool, but like a beloved new plant, it needs regular tending and TLC. Don’t let fear of technology overwhelm you and cause your site to “die on the vine”!
Prerequisites:
No technical knowledge required. Geared towards very new bloggers and WordPress users who are a little nervous around technology.
Du contenu sur mesure (sur papier!)
Surchargez l’aspect de gestionnaire de contenu de WordPress.
La plupart du temps, vos clients ont besoin de présenter autre chose que des pages et des articles sur leurs sites. Que ce soient des livres, des éléments de portfolio, des films, des recettes ou des chats, ces contenus devraient être intégrés comme des Custom Post Types.
Comment planifier tout ce contenu? Comment est-ce qu’on le visualise?
Durant cette présentation, nous prendrons une approche « old school », analogue et sans une seule ligne de code. Nous verrons comment on peut bien se préparer avant même de commencer à coder. À l’aide de simples schémas que nous dessinerons nous -même, nous allons structurer tout notre contenu à l’avance.
Quand viendra le temps de coder notre extension ou notre thème, nous aurons quelques longueurs d’avance. Si c’est un développeur qui s’occupera du reste, il va nous adorer, car il saura exactement quels CPTs et quelles métadonnées il devra préparer.
S’il y a des intéressés, nous pourrons nous réunir après la présentation pour mettre en pratique ces concepts. Je vous montrerai comment faire le tout avec quelques extensions et quelques boucles de code sur mesure.
Préalables:
Comme nous ne traiterons que de concepts de structure d’information, les seuls préalables sont votre curiosité ainsi que votre désir de rendre la tâche facile pour vos webmestres et gestionnaires de contenu.

Plonger dans les plugins
Les plugins. Il y en a tellement que c’est facile de s’y perdre. En plus, quand vous finissez par en trouver un, il répond *presque* parfaitement à votre problème. Mais il manque un petit quelque chose. La date n’est pas au bon format, il manque une colonne, vous voulez ajouter un thumbnail. Bref, il va falloir plonger dedans, et le modifier! Il existe quelques approches pour ne pas s’y perdre.
Dans cette conférence, je ferai le survol des «best practices» en la matière, et de comment j’ai fini par les découvrir.

Posts vs. Pages & Categories vs. Tags
There is so much confusion about what types of things should be put on a page and what should be in a post. Static vs. Dynamic content is the best way to tackle this. An “About Us” page would be just that… A PAGE. If you are talking about something that is more time sensitive, then you want to do a post. Connected to this would be Categories and Tags. What are they? When creating a website, you can edit a menu to include not only pages, but also category archives that can create a more complete experience for small businesses. This is not just how to do it but WHY you should do it. This gives an in depth look at the justification for placement of content on your website and way finding.
Prerequisites:
Basic knowledge of WordPress.
Put a Map On It! Enhanced Geolocation and Mapping with Geo Mashup
WordPress has built-in support for storing location information on posts, but no real way to make use of it. The Geo Mashup plugin enables deep, powerful geolocation in WordPress, letting you easily add geolocations (coordinates) to almost any content type. It also displays locations on maps you can embed in your theme, posts or widgets, with a dizzying array of options for what to show and how to display it.
This talk will start with the default geolocation system in WordPress and how Geo Mashup integrates with it. We’ll then cover the basics of setup and adding locations on posts, then the different map types and situations where you’d use them. We’ll finish with some dev considerations for displaying maps as elegantly as possible.
Prerequisites:
This talk is aimed at anyone planning a site and considering geo integration. There will be developer speak (PHP/HTML/CSS) at times, but there will be lots to consider for anyone building custom WordPress sites.

In WordPress 4.1 the « Theme Customizer » was changed to the « Customizer » with the intent that it could be used as the interface for any WordPress settings. Very few plugin authors, or even custom theme authors, are taking advantage of this built in options panel. Through some examples, we see how easy it is to use the Customizer API to add settings/options to WordPress for themes, plugins (or anything).
Prerequisites:
Some understanding of WordPress actions/filters, php and javascript.
