  • Renoir Boulanger: Techniques pour déployer WordPress de façon consistante et les rendre résilients

    WordCamp Montreal 2016Speaker: Renoir Boulanger

    December 9, 2016 — Pour avoir un site Web qui est capable de supporter beaucoup de visites et facile d’entretien demande beaucoup de précautions.
    Tout faire sur le site Web public parce qu’il est difficile de pouvoir reproduire et se résoudre tout réinstaller, nous faisons les « coins ronds ».

    Télécharger sur le serveur lorsqu’on enregistre des changements est une méthode de travail à bannir depuis les années 1990.

    Comment organiser son espace de travail de développement Web et pouvoir le comprendre?
    Comment l’organiser pour que je n’aie pas à écrire dans des documents texte comment j’ai fait la dernière fois?
    Comment être capable de répondre à la charge de travail s’il y a beaucoup de visiteurs simultanés parce qu’il est devenu populaire?
    Les « frameworks » de développement modernes et commerciaux ont toutes leurs façons de fonctionner et WordPress n’est pas facile a adapter aux techniques modernes.

    J’illustrerai comment adapter WordPress pour être plus facile à entretenir de façon automatisée. Je démontrerai aussi quelques gabarits fonctionnels dans un contexte de système de gestion de configuration, comment organiser son code pour qu’il puisse être possible de travailler localement, et y exécuter la même configuration partout en tenant compte des subtilités à observer.

    Il y a plein d’outils, de techniques, et tutoriels de disponibles sur le Web. Cette présentation illustrera par quoi commencer, et j’y partagerai quelques leçons apprises à la dure.

    WordCamp Stockholm 2016Speaker: Mattias Ekendahl

    December 8, 2016 — När WordPress nämns så går tankarna direkt till webbsajter, stora eller små, men med det nya möjligheterna som API:et öppnar för så höjs blicken för vad som kan göras. Det öppnar för helt nya projekt där WordPress är kärnan men utförandet kan bli till vilken typ av produkt som helst, varav de närmaste typerna är appar och digital publicering, men kan sträcka sig mycket längre än så. Vi har arbetat med att ta steget över till sajter och appar som drivs helt av API:et för ett flertal projekt, bl.a. för Bonnier tidskrifters kommande digital plattform, och kommer dela med oss om den processen. Det har varit både utmanade och fantastiskt och det finns många lärdomar som kommer hjälpa när du väljer att ta nästa steg.

    WordCamp Montreal 2016Speaker: Jonathan Perlman

    December 8, 2016 — Dawson College with 10,000+ students and 1,000+ faculty and staff has adopted WordPress as our primary web publishing platform. We’ve mostly had success, but we’ve also had our share of failures and growing pains. In this case study, I’m going to talk about how we started out with WordPress in 2010, migrated our main website a few years later to a multi-site install and how it all evolved to what we have today. Since then, we’ve adopted the “lean and mean” mantra to building sites, while making them easy to update. This case study will showcase the front and back-ends of our higher profile sites to show how we achieved our goals. We’ll also explain how we manage expectations, do our development, choose plugins and tools, and which themes we’ve come to rely on.
