  • Corey Maass: Build a Web App MVP with Little or No Code

    WordCamp Belfast 2018Speaker: Corey Maass

    April 23, 2019 — WordPress is known to be a powerful and versatile tool for rapid proof-of-concept web app development.

    During this WordCamp presentation, we will investigate why WordPress may be the best tool to help create your next web app. We will look at different examples of business cases where WordPress is the best option, and also where it falls short. I will illustrate how I have solved the most common UI patterns required by web apps using plugins, web resources and occasionally code.

    We will walk through one of the apps I’ve built from idea to development to production to see the patterns in action. Finally, I share other considerations from my experience like deployment, syncing dev environments, AJAX, the REST API and iterating on feedback.

    After the presentation, the audience will have a better understanding of WordPress for web app development. They will be ready to build a minimum viable product (MVP) web app on top of WordPress even if they have limited coding experience.

    WordCamp Belfast 2018Speaker: Ahmed Khalifa

    It’s tricky though because when you’ve got other things to worry about in your business, it’s not a surprise that SEO is not a major priority. In fact, it can be overwhelming to find out what you need to do…even for me, and I do it for a living.

    But can you really grow your business with zero or little traffic? Especially if you are providing plugins and themes, which requires online engagements?

    Whether you are new and scaling your business, or you are looking to boost your existing business, it’s time to look at how SEO can be a major investment in your business.

    In this talk, we will look at the essential ways you can do that with the help of some actionable tips and strategy which you can apply today.

  • Ana Cirujano: Taller de fuentes variables para WordPress

    WordPress Meetup GranadaSpeaker: Ana Cirujano

    April 22, 2019 — Ana Cirujano es una diseñadora visual y de interacción especializada en proyectos web con WordPress.

    En este taller aprenderemos sobre fuentes variables, una tecnología mediante la cual podemos conseguir que los textos de una web se adapten al contexto del lector o usuario, para que sean más legibles y atractivos, consiguiendo un gran rendimiento, sin sacrificar la velocidad de carga de la web.

    Las fuentes variables cambian sus propiedades —como el ancho o el peso, por ejemplo— ¡utilizando un único archivo!

    Se espera que las fuentes variables sean totalmente utilizables en los navegadores a lo largo de este año, por lo que veremos cómo se utilizan en WordPress (código CSS) y qué ventajas tienen respecto a las demás fuentes. También veremos ejemplos reales de aplicación de fuentes variables y cómo se crea una fuente variable.
