June 9, 2014 — Grab a cup of coffee and start your day off (no matter what time it is) on the right foot with Automatticians Konstantin Obenland and Michael Cain in our morning show-style WordCamp talk! We’ll break the session into three segments, two that will cover any number of WordPress topics – theming, design, development, best practices, worst practices, future trends, you name it – and a special guest interview with a big name from the WordPress world. There will be laughter (hopefully?), there will be tears (regrettably?), there will even be some awkward silences (definitely). But most importantly, there will be plenty of that whole-grained, balanced-diet WordPress that you just can’t get enough of.

May 24, 2014 — The Customizer has been around since WordPress 3.4, yet it is one of the most unknown and under appreciated features around. This session starts out with learning what the Customizer is, from where users can access it, and why it is so awesome. It then proceeds to theme mods, the Customizer API, how to integrate it in your themes and plugins, and dive into how you can extend existing functionality. Finally it covers some tutorials and example implementations, what default themes do with it, and how _s encourages its use.
