November 21, 2016 — Every complex development project has dependencies, and WordPress is no exception: While the core codebase takes the worry out of managing many JavaScript libraries, you still have to manage all your plugins and themes. If you’ve just got one site to worry about, manually taking care of tracking and updating these dependencies is easy, but as soon as you’re managing multiple sites it starts to become cumbersome — and managing dependencies is especially hard when you’re working with in Multisite.

There are several ways to approach managing your dependencies: You can have a zip folder of them; keep them all in a Git repo; use more advanced Git techniques like submodules or subtrees; or use something like TGM Plugin Activation library. You can also use a Composer — the standard PHP dependency management tool — to manage your WordPress site dependencies.

This session will walk you through managing your WordPress dependencies using modern tools like Git, WP-CLI, and Composer, making maintenance easier and decreasing the amount of third-party code you have to store in your repo or code management tool. You should come away knowing a few different approaches to make dependency management both less work and less prone to problems and mistakes.

November 21, 2016 — One can have many reasons to form a WordPress agency. At required+ we didn’t think about becoming an agency in the first place. Initially we teamed up to build an online platform that scratched an itch in all of us, we simply wanted to try and prove a point with the idea we had. All of a sudden we were running a thriving job board for the Swiss web industry and had a beautiful side project to work on. In order to keep our creative freedom and sovereignty, we didn’t want to take money from venture capitalists or investors.

We started to take on interesting client projects, this way we continued to build interesting sites & apps.

November 21, 2016 — Nei primi anni novanta, l’economista britannica Frances Cairncross osservò la diffusione di Internet e ne predisse il ruolo decisivo nella cancellazione delle distanze. Ma all’atto pratico, in un ambiente lavorativo distribuito come quello di Human Made, come facciamo in modo che la lontananza non abbia un impatto negativo nel nostro regolare flusso di lavoro?

In questo talk illustrerò come interagiamo internamente a Human Made. Strumenti, meccanismi e strategie, senza perdere di vista ciò che conta davvero: chiarezza nelle informazioni, efficacia nelle comunicazioni e rispetto reciproco. Con un occhio di riguardo alle sfide con cui un’azienda che lavora in remoto deve fare i conti quotidianamente: diverse culture, diversi stili di vita, diversi fusi orari.

Questo talk è per tutti coloro che lavorano in remoto e vorrebbero comunicare più efficacemente, e per chiunque voglia imparare a possedere i mezzi di comunicazione anziché esserne posseduti.
