June 20, 2019 — Unsurprisingly, last December’s release of WordPress 5.0 made us nervous. Today, some of our themes are in need of extensive upgrades.

While reviewing the oldest of such designs, 2005’s classic default theme Kubrick. We’ll rediscover why it is important to WordPress’ past and discuss new opportunities. In this session, Kubrick’s design will be applied to blocks allowing users to anticipate exactly what to expect before they hit publish.

If we can modernize Kubrick for Gutenberg in 2019, we can do anything.

June 10, 2019 — In 2017 we fell in love with Gutenberg. In 2018 we decided to use it as a foundation for all things CMS: WP, Drupal or standalone apps. This resulted in Gutenberg JS: https://github.com/front/gutenberg-js. We quickly found out that the universal concept of blocks deserves a CMS agnostic library, and what if we could make it cloud based?

Here is what we did, what we learned, and how we are using it today!

June 10, 2019 — The new WordPress block editor (a.k.a. Gutenberg) is a radical change for developers used to working with PHP.

June 10, 2019 — Gutenberg best practices for WordPress developers that had no time to learn JavaScript deeply.

June 10, 2019 — The new WordPress editor (Gutenberg) is how all new content is to be created on WordPress. However with the way the data is stored, is that really the best way to power an application? I will walk through the drawbacks for how Gutenberg stores data, and how to easily change that to more easily power custom headless (and not) web applications.

June 10, 2019 — With the release of WordPress 5.0, users now have default control over page-level design decisions. In this talk we will discuss the thought process that went into core Gutenberg architecture decisions, different strategies to achieve “smart” control: that balance between complete content freedom, and heavyhanded control. Jamie will present some options to create flexible content strategies for your clients in this new era.

June 3, 2019 — Avec l’arrivée de Gutenberg, WordPress a fait le choix d’utiliser un framework JavaScript ( ReactJS ) et se dirige petit à petit vers des développements « orientés API », notamment grâce à l’API Rest. On peut donc aborder WordPress comme un CMS Headless. De fait, pour rester intégrer à WordPress et utiliser le même langage, il faut savoir aborder le JavaScript mais aussi ReactJS. Comment ?

June 2, 2019 — With much fanfare React.js has overtaken the post editor, and this is just the beginning. As we enter phase two of the Gutenberg project, we find that change has begun for widgets and even menus. While the thought of building our own editor blocks from scratch may be too daunting for many of us to want to undertake, WordPress delivers React to us in a way that allows us to add our own flavor to existing blocks. React is designed with modular units for easy reuse, and in this talk we’ll review key components of blocks and different ways to enhance or redefine blocks using the set of filters available in the WordPress namespace.
