The Role of Page Builders for Developers

Are custom page templates and shortcodes offering our clients and users the best content publishing experience? In this talk, I'll explore how and why page builders might now be a staple in a WordPress developer's toolkit.

Presented by Doug Belchamber. Doug is a WordPress developer based in South London, who's terrible at talking about himself in the 3rd person. He runs Smarter Digital, a small WordPress development company, Fuelled as a freelance technical marketer and blogs infrequently at WP Developers. Follow him @db_smarter.

wp_update_post

A new slot in the #wpldn event. An open discussion on the latest from WordPress. We'll be kicking off with Todd Halfpenny running through what we can expect in the upcoming 4.8 update, then it's over to you.

WP_Model, synthetic ORM for WordPress (Part 1)

I have made an ORM for WordPress. Before you roll your eyes at that statement I have built it specifically for WP-based MVPs. Having built lots of MVPs on WordPress for cash-strapped startups this simple class has made WordPress it easier than ever to make complex apps in days using WP. https://github.com/anthonybudd/WP_Model.

Anthony will be doing Part 2, taking a deeper dive into the technical aspects, at wp_hooked.

Presented by Anthony Budd. Anthony is a PHP and WP expert with over 5 years of experience developing websites and apps for all kinds of clients from non-profits, to startups to Fortune 500 companies. Follow him @anthonybudd
