  • Łukasz Korowicki i Michał Strześniewski: Style Guide Driven Development, czyli jak wykonać więcej za mniej

    WordCamp Krakow 2015Speakers: Łukasz Korowicki, Michał Strześniewski

    January 5, 2016 — Proces wytwarzania stron internetowych potrafi być bardzo złożony, przez co osiągnięcie zamierzonego celu może zależeć od wielu czynników. Praca pod presją czasu powoduje, iż każda osoba odpowiedzialna za jeden z etapów stara się go wykonać możliwie najszybciej.
    Style Guide Driven Development (SGDD) to wzorzec projektowy, dzięki któremu kolejne etapy projektu zajmują mniej czasu niż poprzednie.
    Często zapominamy, że niewielkie problemy, które pojawią się na etapie tworzenia grafiki potrafią urosnąć do rangi błędów krytycznych tuż przed oddaniem projektu. Rozkładając odpowiedzialność za projekt w sposób bardziej równomierny i dostosowany do kompetencji uczestników projektu, uzyskujemy projekt kompletny, któremu do perfekcji brakuje możliwie mało.
    SGDD to proces dzięki któremu nie tylko programiści mają ułatwione zadanie, ale także specjaliści od SEO oraz UX.

  • Don Booth: Building defeatharper.ca: Lessons From a First-time WordPress Developer

    WordCamp Toronto 2015Speaker: Don Booth

    January 5, 2016 — An excellent topic for developers using WordPress for the first time. Also suitable for people building a website for the first time. This is a case study of a first-time WordPress development project for the website defeatharper.ca. My talk will outline how the ideas behind the site evolved as the requirements changed and the environment it was designed to play in kept shifting. How did we manage the change? How do you keep forward progress in development?

    This was my first “real” WordPress project as a developer. I will be sharing my trials and tribulations in trying to get WordPress to “act like a proper CMS”, and then my ultimate insights into the “WordPress Way” of doing things. I have mixed feelings about the two major plugins we used, and will share those findings with you as well.

  • Jason Cosper: Duty Now For The Future

    WordCamp Orange County 2015Speaker: Jason Cosper

    January 5, 2016 — WordPress developers have been refining their development workflows and toolkits for almost 12 years now. As game changing server technologies like Facebook’s HHVM start to creep into the WordPress hosting space — WP Engine, Pagely & Kinsta all offer HHVM-ready plans — those workflows need to be expanded.
    I’ll be introducing you to a new Vagrant-based WordPress development environment (HGV) that includes debugging and profiling tools and allows you to test your code in both PHP & HHVM environments.
    vIf you’re interested in attending this talk, a passing familiarity with the command line helps, but isn’t a hard requirement.
