May 10, 2020 — In a world increasingly run by software, failures can be caused by bugs.
Failure to find and fix bugs quickly has a financial, personal and reputational cost to an organisation. It can impact on product delivery time as well.

A large portion of developer’s time is spent in debugging.
However, when was the last time we worked on improving our debugging skills?
This is one of the rarely discussed topics.

This meetup talks about improving our debugging skills, that can help us make it simpler to quickly find and fix critical bugs, so that we can deliver to ever-shortening deadlines and boosts overall productivity.

This online free meetup will cover:
1. Common challenges and misconceptions of developers when debugging.
2. Thinking in the right direction for quick fixes.
3. Tips on debugging WordPress backend and front-end.
4. Can exploring WordPress core help in debugging?
5. Is manual debugging better?
6. Real world examples

Chandra and Imran will also share their experience and best practices, when debugging.

While Gutenberg continues to outshine on the content creation experience, there have been so many updates and changes in Gutenberg that it’s hard to keep up. Many developers also find block development challenging because there is a learning curve to React and JavaScript

It’s time to challenge those challenges.
This meetup helps you build those core concepts and have your questions answered, by diving deep into Gutenberg

Topics that will be covered:

– Touch on basics of Gutenberg
– Understand how things work in Gutenberg behind the scenes.
– Understanding the Gutenberg core.
– Build tools like @wordpress/wp-scripts and @wordpress/create-block
– WordPress Data Module.
– Current State and Future of Gutenberg.
