  • Let’s code: developing blocks without React! – Controls

    Speakers: Jonathan Bossenger, Leo Gopal

    December 2, 2022 — This series of workshops looks at building a WordPress block, without using React JSX.

    So far, we’ve built a WordPress block using plain JavaScript which supports custom styles via a stylesheet, and which uses block attributes and the RichText component to allow the user to edit the block content. Next, we will add a block control and an additional attribute to allow the user to edit the block alignment.

  • Leo Gopal: The WordPress Community, Mental Wellness, and You

    WordCamp Cape Town 2016Speaker: Leo Gopal

    November 24, 2016 — Our own mental wellness, and that of those around us, is probably the least understood and most neglected part of our daily lives. It is time we all started understanding what it truly means to have mental wellness and what it means to us and those around us when we do not have it – especially what we can do to help those around us and ourselves.

    The WordPress community is both the perfect place for Mental Health issues to go undetected as well as the perfect place for so many people to live a higher quality of life simply by increasing our awareness to it.
