October 18, 2019 — In the past 15 years the technology of the web has evolved, enabling exciting new techniques and tools for web developers. WordPress has evolved with it, but some of the newer and more exciting tools are still out of reach… or are they?

This is a developer focused talk about bringing newer technologies into WordPress development through the use (and abuse) of plugins and themes.

September 16, 2019 — “While you might conjure up images of Indiana Jones carrying a whip (and screaming “”This Belongs in a Museum!””) anthropology is more than just digging up lost artifacts from past civilizations and being chased by boulders.

This primer on anthropology will force you to rethink your processes, allowing you to design better prototypes by studying your clients and adopting cultural relativism. Through topics such as enthnographies, holism, participant observation — and yes, even trowels — you can impact your clients and projects by knowing when (and how) to dig deeper.”

June 14, 2018 — Tomando por base a minha trajetória profissional, de pesquisador e professor da área de Ciências Humanas para depois desenvolvedor WEB, pude reconhecer o grande potencial didático do WordPress no ensino-aprendizagem de diversos assuntos ligados ao universo da programação. É claro que é disso que se trata o ambiente em si, uma ferramenta ágil voltada para a programação de sistemas, mas vale reforçar o seu papel didático para o entendimento e desenvolvimento dessas habilidades e competências, especialmente para estudantes e/ou iniciantes na área de Tecnologia da Informação. O objetivo deste “talk” é justamente reconhecer o valor educacional da ferramenta e de tudo que a envolve (documentação, tutoriais, suporte, etc) como sendo parte de uma grande comunidade E-learning. Sem dúvida, o WordPress tem contribuído muito na formação dos profissionais de TI nos dias atuais.
