November 17, 2022 — In 2016 gaf Jeroen van Dijk op WordCamp Nederland een presentatie over de WordPress REST API. Toendertijd nog een plugin, en geen core-functionaliteit, is er inmiddels een hoop veranderd. In mijn talk kijk ik naar hoe het gebruik en de mogelijkheden van de REST API zich ontwikkeld hebben en wat er in de toekomst aan zit te komen.

November 17, 2022 — Global warming, we hear about it every day: travel less, eat less meat, insulate our homes, … we all know that. But seldom do we hear about the growing impact of the internet and tech in general on climate change: it consumes a lot of electricity and the usage is growing rapidly. Since we’re building the internet, our choices can make a difference. I built globalwarning.blog around this using WordPress. This blog has a tiny carbon footprint with only about 30 KB per page load, and it shows what is practically possible using WordPress. I believe that we can make a big difference by spreading the word and leading by example within, around and outside of WordPress.
I hope to give a look at the big picture and practical tips on what you can do to optimise your website and your digital footprint.

November 17, 2022 — Git is the modern-day version management system of choice.
We all know how to commit, push, pull and merge. But what about (interactive) rebasing, fixing up commits, cherry picking lines and bisecting the history?
And what are those atomic commits you keep hearing people talk about, and why would they be of any use to you?

Come and learn how to get the most out of the tooling you already use every day, find ways to make life easier on the people who review your code, and leave knowing how to create a clean commit history which is a joy to peruse.

November 17, 2022 — How do you build a European campaign on a boring subject like the Digital Services Act? With Windows 95, of course! A European party asked me to design their campaign and gave me all the creative freedom. I rebuilt Windows 95 in WordPress and CSS, and tell you what the technical and design challenges are in such a big project. How do you translate the client’s desire into a creative website? How do you create a Windows 95 pop-up window with CSS that is also responsive? And what are the challenges in communicating complex topics to the public? I take you on a journey through the process of creating a campaign.

November 17, 2022 — It is estimated that the digital world currently accounts for about 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions. To put this number in perspective, that’s more than the entire global aviation industry combined. These emissions are largely caused by the energy required by end-user devices and the data centers that process data on the Internet. Therefore, every page on a Website that you view creates small amounts of greenhouse gas emissions. Fortunately, there are ways in which these emissions can be reduced by Website owners. For example, you can think about improvements like green hosting and optimization of things like loading speed, fonts, redirects, and images. This practical and applied session will cover several examples that attendees can apply immediately the next day to make their Websites more sustainable.
