  • Leveraging well-structured themes for project success

    WordCamp Verona 2023Speaker: Tomasz Zieliński

    December 20, 2023 — In the world of web development, we’ve all encountered projects that resemble a patchwork of hacks, held together by digital duct tape. This often stems from the misleading notion that building a “simple website” will suffice. Developers resort to creating template pages under the assumptions that “the design won’t change over time” and “building reusable blocks is too costly.” The result? A labyrinth of spaghetti code that becomes a maintenance nightmare. But what if I told you there’s a better way?

    In this presentation, I will delve into:
    – Utilizing Timber and Bedrock for a clean project architecture while crafting custom themes
    – Adopting an Object-Oriented approach for effective project decomposition
    – Understanding the impact of clean design on website page speed
    – Implementing a robust Quality Assurance process and the critical role of automation (CI/CD)

    This talk draws upon years of hands-on experience at Osom Studio, where we’ve honed our approach to WordPress development. We’ve even channeled our insights into an open-source project, Juniper.

  • WordPress come strumento di empowerment per giovani attivisti

    WordCamp Verona 2023Speaker: Hilda Ramirez

    December 20, 2023 — L’8% della popolazione italiana è di origine straniera; di questi oltre 1,5 milioni sono giovani nati o cresciuti nel territorio. Molti di questi, sentendosi divisi tra l’identità italiana e quella del paese d’origine, e prendendo atto dei fenomeni sociali di esclusione, trovano nell’attivismo una modalità di espressione e di cittadinanza attiva. In questi spazi costruiscono alleanze tra nuove e vecchie generazioni, propongono azioni di lobby, mobilitano piazze e si rivolgono ai loro compagni. Sempre più spesso scelgono come canale vetrina siti a gestione autonoma su WordPress.

  • WCAG 2.2: ci siamo! Cosa cambia per l’accessibilità?

    WordCamp Verona 2023Speaker: Stefano Minoia

    December 18, 2023 — A ottobre 2023 è stata pubblicata la versione 2.2 delle Linee Guida per l’Accessibilità dei Contenuti Web (WCAG), a più di cinque anni dall’ultimo aggiornamento.
    Pur non essendo ancora obbligatorio rispettare queste indicazioni per essere conformi alla normativa italiana ed europea, la nuova versione diventerà con ogni probabilità la futura base di valutazione dei siti web.
    Le Linee Guida nascono però con l’obiettivo di migliorare l’esperienza di navigazione in Internet da parte delle persone con disabilità ed è ai loro bisogni che bisogna guardare: implementare queste linee guida al più presto può quindi migliorare fin da subito l’esperienza utente per alcuni specifici gruppi di utenti con disabilità.
    Durante la presentazione, vedremo le novità della versione 2.2 rispetto alle versioni 2.0 e 2.1, scopriremo i gruppi di persone con disabilità maggiormente impattati dalla nuova versione ed entreremo nel dettaglio dei nuovi criteri di conformità.
