I will touch on subjects like developing locally, using git, the benefits of Sass and why everyone should be using it, running grunt tasks to compress your css, js, and images as well as using autoprefixer. I can also briefly touch on using frameworks if time and interest allow for it.

September 11, 2015 — L’objectif de cette présentation est de se familiariser avec l’environnement (interface) de WordPress et les sous-sections qui y sont présentées. Nous apprendrons le jargon WP (pages, articles, médias, thèmes, plugins, widgets, mots-clés, catégories, images à la une, etc.) et de quoi il s’agit. Nous verrons également comment améliorer votre flux de travail afin d’importer du texte de Word et des images du Web vs. de votre ordinateur. Certains plugins et widgets seront survolés afin de vous donner une idée des meilleures pratiques. À la fin de cet atelier, vous ne grincerez plus des dents à la simple idée de jouer dans l’interface WordPress!

Préalables:
Cette présentation s’adresse aux utilisateurs WordPress débutants qui ont déjà l’interface installée ou qui ont déjà pris connaissance de ce à quoi elle ressemble.
