  • James Osborne: Create a user-first experience with AMP

    WordCamp Glasgow 2020Speaker: James Osborne

    April 21, 2020 — What does it mean a user-first application? It is an application that lands in four pillars: Fast, Secure, engaging and Integrated.

And AMP helps on that, AMP or Accelerated Mobile Pages is a framework with three important tools, AMP HTML, AMP JS and AMP Cache.

  • Chris Brosnan: Scaling Effectively with WordPress

    WordCamp Glasgow 2020Speaker: Chris Brosnan

    April 21, 2020 — One of the most common misconceptions about WordPress is that it does not scale well and is only for small sites. This assumption is untrue, but it exists because of wider misconceptions about the use of WordPress and its purpose. With good planning and consideration before and during a WordPress project’s lifecycle, we can ensure that the project scales well and has the flexibility to add new features without too much scope creep or performance impact. By avoiding waste, using coding standards, and adopting a serious software development mindset to WordPress projects it is easy to build WordPress sites that will scale effectively. This talk will introduce these concepts.

  • Ahmed Khalifa: Let’s Make Captions Beautiful to Get More People Engaging With Your Videos

    WordCamp Glasgow 2020Speaker: Ahmed Khalifa

    April 21, 2020 — Lighting, audio and storytelling are all essential when creating video-based content. However, captions are often forgotten, even though it can benefit more people than you think. You might assume that it’s just for the d/Deaf and hard of hearing people. But there are other benefits: learn a new language, access to different culture, improve SEO, watch in quiet environments, increase social media engagements. But even more people can benefit, like those who are autistic, have learning disability or have attention deficits.
    From sharing my own personal experience as a deaf person, combined with my experience in digital marketing and content marketing, I combine the two to share stories on how you, as a content creator, can maximise the impact of your videos by making use of captions.
    But it’s not just about writing “whatever is said”. It is an art. So let’s make captions, not just a necessity, but also beautiful…for everyone!
