  • Marieke Vinckers: Vrijbuiter vlogt op bakfiets

    WordCamp Noord-Nederland 2018Speaker: Marieke Vinckers

    March 8, 2018 — “Vloggen is RAARRR. Daar ben ik afgelopen zomer achtergekomen. Ik dacht dat het een kleine stap was, van blog naar ‘video-log’ … maar het bracht me in een compleet nieuwe wereld. Een wereld waarin ik aan het filmen was voor een publiek waarvan ik niet wist of het er eigenlijk wel was.
    Ik stapte op mijn bakfiets om Noord-Nederland te befietsen. In die bakfiets sliep ik ook. Ik noemde hem daarom: ‘de Rijdende Bedstede’. En ik dacht: ‘Ik fiets de vrijheid tegemoet!’ Maar… Vrijheid en vloggen? Dat gaat niet samen.”

  • Matt Perry: REST API: Get Up To Speed In a Half-Hour

    WordCamp Seattle 2017Speaker: Matt Perry

    March 8, 2018 — Many of us work primarily in this first realm: with themes and plugins, and may not have been closely tracking all of the details of the REST API’s rollout. Other of us (me included) have found the years-long rollout to be complicated to track and summarize.

    Whatever your motivation, if you seek a gently-technical intro to the REST API in about a half-hour, this session is for you. We will cover three broad areas:

    – what is the REST API, and how does it work?
    – what are some possible use cases for the REST API?
    – how do I extend/customize/control the REST API?

    This broad, quick, overview should leave you prepared and equipped to further research and experimentation with WordPress’ fancy new feature.

  • Kailey Lampert: Don’t Be Afraid Of The Command Line

    WordCamp Seattle 2017Speaker: Kailey Lampert

    March 8, 2018 — The command line is a very powerful tool that you can use for all sorts of things. But the terminal can be a little scary if you’ve never been there before.

    Let’s demystify it a bit and go over:

    what you’re looking at,
    some basic commands that’ll help you get around, and
    a glimpse of some more advanced commands that can be handy to have in your toolbox.

    Equipped with the basics, we’ll then learn about a powerful WordPress tool: WP-CLI. This won’t be an in-depth developer discussion, but a demo of what it can do and why you should be excited to try it out.

    Note: Sorry, but this will be based on Mac/Unix. Windows has some exceptions that won’t be covered.
