November 18, 2019 — A story of learning and failing and learning more and succeeding with building websites, delving into the world of Pay Per Click advertising, and all the analytics that go with it.
The first time a website went down and how I handled it.
My first online shop and learning how to build it.
The world of free vs paid themes and my experiences with it (hint: I am leaning towards free).
The importance of persistent and consistent action and monitoring in Google Ads campaigns in order to improve their performance.
Highlighting the fact that I’m not a “web developer” (not even a WordPress developer), but I am still able to teach myself how to fully craft a functional website, and get better and better at it as a “WordPress website creator”. I like to think of myself as a technology consultant. Jack of all trades, Master of some. I also still like my day job and the Microsoft products I work with there, hence not going full time into the side hustle. In fact, I am a proponent of having a full-time gig that funds the majority of my needs, and having side hustles and personal passion projects, as many as I please, purely for the fun of it.
Lastly, a short checklist of things I do when I first create any WordPress website, including some particular settings I prefer, as well as the few plugins that I install on every single site (Wordfence, YoastSEO).

November 18, 2019 — In any industry, you have peers. In WordPress, you have community. So what does community mean? Why is it important to be part of a community? How do you become part of the community when you’re new? And how can we have mentorship from the seasoned community members?

In this talk, I’ll discuss how we can include others. How new people can observe. How active members can include. And how we can have a truly diverse and and accepting culture — not just an inclusive label.

November 18, 2019 — The official release of Gutenberg has fundamentally altered how users can interact with the content editor. For developers, it’s a huge risk to dive into this new and unfamiliar territory on a client project. Many agencies and freelancers are therefore reluctant to develop custom blocks for their clients. However, finding the “perfect” time to implement a new technology is impossible.
This talk will explore a custom block project that was launched before Gutenberg came to core, demonstrating why you shouldn’t be afraid to jump in, the tangible benefits for you and your clients, and some challenges you might face along the way.

November 18, 2019 — Il 31% delle aziende in Italia non trova persone da collocare in oltre un milione di posti di lavoro ancora vacanti.

L’incontro tra posizioni aperte e professionalità in grado di ricoprirle è ormai diventato un serio problema per la competitività del nostro Paese.
Se a questo si aggiunge che molti dei lavori più ricercati e pagati non esistevano cinque anni fa e che fra cinque anni ancora tanti saranno i mestieri destinati a scomparire, ci si rende conto di quanto sempre più strategico sia il ruolo della formazione nella nostra vita.

Ma quanto davvero siamo consapevoli dei fattori che incidono maggiormente nei processi di selezione da parte delle aziende? E quali sono le competenze che più di altre rendono competitiva una persona? Questi alcuni degli interrogativi che ci porremo nel talk.
