December 20, 2017 — Design is everywhere and (not behind but) the underlying foundation of everything.

December 20, 2017 — Vue.js is progressive javascript framework for creating reactive frontend apps. In this presentation I want to show the advantages to using such framework and how to use it to develop new interfaces. Presentation will guide users through necessary tools, code examples and real world use cases and demos.

December 20, 2017 — We will merge two doubleW’s into a single awesome project. Let’s explore how to use Webpack2 with your WordPress theme, how to build your Webpack configuration and use it with CSS/SASS, JSON, Images, Fonts, JS, and many more. I’ll provide the boilerplate configuration for your WW project. On top of everything, we will explore how PostCSS can be added to your project which will enrich your application with some cool plugins. But that is not all, you will also get the configuration for PHP, SASS, JS linting, as well as build and deploy bash scripts. Let’s start building WordPress with this awesome tool.

December 20, 2017 — Coding standards provide a foundation for writing your code. If you are involved in a big project, it is imperative that the team that works with you follows the same coding practices. This is helpful during the development phase, especially while debugging and doing code reviews. The days of manual checking your code are long gone, and we have a bunch of tools that can help us with writing quality code (linters, code sniffers, unit tests). One of such tools, which is especially helpful, is PHP CodeSniffer. PHP CodeSniffer will check your PHP, JS and CSS code on the fly, and you can also write your own sniffs and define your own standards. You’ll get an overview of using phpcs, writing your own, and extending other people sniffs and standards.

December 20, 2017 — I had a great time interviewing Josh. We have run across each other a few times since we first met at WCUS 2015.

We talk about WCUS 2017 and his presentation which can be found at WordPress TV – https://wordpress.tv/2017/12/10/josh-pollock-five-attitudes-stopping-you-from-building-accessible-wordpress-websites/

Josh has been spending time working with the Gutenberg Editor and creating plugins.

We discuss the pros and cons of big WordCamps versus smaller WordCamps.

He is a big proponent of the WordPress Community and always has time to help people.

One thing that I neglected to tell Josh. This is the 70th interview that I have done since June of last year.

Thanks Josh!
