    WordCamp London 2018Speaker: Thorsten Frommen

What is this mocking that pops up here and there?

  • Sean Blakeley: When to Use the API

    WordCamp London 2018Speaker: Sean Blakeley

    October 5, 2018 — Key takeaways:

    The API liberates data outside of WordPress and projects like Gutenberg – breaking content into modular content blocks – will change the way WordPress considers data relationships.
    The API is driving a new Enterprise Stack – with each element the industry leader in its field – including WordPress as the fast moving publishing solution.
    Decoupling the front – using technologies like React – & decoupling the back – using technologies like Elasticsearch – begs the question: Why continue using WordPress? The answer is that clients, content teams, editors & authors all over the world have built a passion for WordPress for its ease of use and friendly interface. This strength should never be underestimated.

  • Pascal Birchler: WordPress Internationalization Workflows

    WordCamp Tokyo 2018Speaker: Pascal Birchler

    October 5, 2018 — Soon after the release of WordPress 15 years ago, support for internationalization was added to the software. This meant that themes, plugins, and WordPress itself could be translated. This was a huge deal as WordPress is used all over the world, in countries where English is not the main language. WordPress was quickly translated into German, Japanese and many more languages.

    Over the years, WordPress has steadily improved the way we have to work with internationalization. However, challenges still exist and there will always be new ones ahead. Projects like Gutenberg and ecosystems beyond WordPress.org force us to continuously iterate.

    In this talk you’ll learn how to make use of the latest and greatest technology to make your WordPress plugin or theme fully internationalized. Pascal is going to highlight how you can leverage the powers of WordPress, GlotPress, and WP-CLI to improve the translation workflow in your WordPress projects.

  • Justin Kopepasah: Gutenberg and the Evolution of WordPress

    WordCamp Tokyo 2018Speaker: Justin Kopepasah

    October 4, 2018 — Gutenberg, the elephant in the room. The impending feature to be merged into Core which will not only change the way millions of people work with WordPress, but has the audacious goal of shaping the way people publish and manage content on the web.

    Some people may say that Gutenberg is merely WordPress catching up to other services, but in reality the new editor experience not only changes the way writers write, but also the way engineers create rich, editorial experiences specifically tailored to each unique site requirements.

    WordPress 5.0+ goals are not to “catch up”, but rather leapfrog other experiences and shape content creation and the editorial experience forever.

    Gutenberg と WordPress の進化に見る未来

    誰もが気になっている次期エディターの Gutenberg。もうすぐコアにマージされるこの機能は、ユーザーにとっての WordPress の使い方を変えるというだけではなく、「これからの Web 上でのパブリッシングやコンテンツ管理のやり方を形作る」という大胆なゴールも掲げています。

    Gutenberg は WordPress が単に他のサービスに追いつくためのものだと言う人もいます。ですが、これは実際には、リッチなコンテンツの作成・編集という体験をまったく新しいものにし、他を「追い越す」ことができる一歩だと考えています。

  • Lisa Freeman: Designing for GDPR

    WordCamp Bristol 2017Speaker: Lisa Freeman

    October 4, 2018 — The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) will become law in 2018 and effects how we need to store and manage data for people in the EU. After Brexit, it’ll still effect how we handle customers in the EU’s data. The 100ish page GDPR covers all sorts of telecommunications and electronic data so this talk aims to tell web designers and developers the essentials they need to know in an easy to digest format so that they can help their clients (and themselves) stay inline with the legal requirements, from discussing considerations for big databases through to simple newsletter sign ups.
