\n\t\t\t\t\tTeaching Happiness: What WordPress Support Can Learn From the Classroom\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

This session will explore how you and your organisation can provide better WordPresss support by being more conscious of each support staffer\u2019s role as a ‘trainer’ or ‘teacher’ and each user\u2019s role as a \u2018learner\u2019.<\/p>\n

While support personnel have been traditionally seen as \u2018fixers\u2019, and while many contemporary support outfits still focus on this aspect of the experience, WordPress support has always been about more than just matching problems with solutions.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

It’s an introduction to using WordPress as a middleware system for various apps, particularly for mobile applications. We’ll be dealing with WordPress’s Custom Posts, REST API, JSON, and AJAX to build an engine, and a simple front-end based on it.<\/p>\n

It’ll start with explaining what typography is, why it’s important and how, by just investing 10 to 15 minutes, you can make your site more readable and good looking. Since everybody deals with text, this talk would be relevant to all – developers, designers, bloggers and other WordPress users.<\/p>\n

I will be sharing some key things we’ve learned in trying to make WooCommerce more accessible globally by working with key developer and e-commerce services partners. If you are interested in the topics of WordPress product businesses or global ecommerce you should find this talk interesting.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In this session, I would speak of how and why the youth of today are not reading blogs and how it can be changed. Parts of my speech are focused on publicising WordPress and why it is such a great option for the youth of today. I not only speak of how to get teenage readers to read your blog, but also on how to keep them hooked and willingly follow your blog posts.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

As WordPress gains more market share as the Content Management System of choice, how can large organizations start adopting this platform for their internal requirements? Join us as we discuss the concerns and challenges that each organization would face while adopting to the platform and how we as enablers can help overcome those challenges.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\tGoodbye to \/wp-admin\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

2015 will be remembered in the WordPress community as the year of the JSON REST API. It will be the biggest turning point in the WordPress project since 2010 (when we first saw custom post types). As a result of this, I believe that we’ll see \/wp-admin start to disappear in favor of more functional backend interfaces. In this talk we’ll explore the possibilities of a future without \/wp-admin<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

This session will take a looks at WordPress Security. It will address concerns of the general user,\u00a0how WordPress sites are generally hacked, the need for an international security standard in WordPress. The session will describe the\u00a0top\u00a010 vulnerabilities as listed in OWASP.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\tDebugging WordPress Performance using EasyEngine\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

WordPress has thousands of themes and plugins freely available. Not all of them are coded beautifully or tested with big WordPress sites. When a bad piece of code goes live on a WordPress site, it can slow down site and even crash server in some cases.<\/p>\n

Goal of this session is to show how EasyEngine and other tools\/techniques can be used to debug performance bottleneck on a WordPress site. I hope it will make the life of developers and system admins easy.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\tThe Settings Experience \u2013 Why It Sucks\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We’ve spent almost a decade perfecting the art of adding settings to WordPress, in hopes of improving the user experience. Instead, we’ve destroyed it. I’ll be talking about how we can make decisions for users, shape the settings experience based on a user’s environment and specific needs, along with looking at how low-level AI (artificial intelligence) can be used to reimagine the entire settings experience in not just WordPress, but all software (and maybe even the world).<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I\u2019ve been involved in creating three out of the last four default themes for WordPress. It\u2019s been a great learning opportunity and it let me grow, both as a WordPress developer as well as a contributor and member of the community. I\u2019m going to share some lessons learned, on the theme creation side of things about how innovative we were able to be even though we had to cater to such a broad spectrum of users, and on the community side how it enabled me to become more involved with the project and work with other contributors around the world towards a common goal.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Vagrant is a fantastic piece of software that allows developers and testers to create portable, reusable and easily reproducible development environments. This session is going to cover the functional aspects and a quick demo of the workflow of using Vagrant specifically for WordPress development.<\/p>\n
