Building Single-page Sites With WordPress

Single page applications (SPA) are big part of the future of web design. Using a JS library like React or AngularJS to dynamically display content and interact with your system greatly improves the user experience for your visitors.

In this talk I will be showing you how to use AngularJS and the WordPress API to build a single-page site. I want to show you the basics of building websites this way so you can easily expand the given examples to build the applications you want with WordPress.

log($this), $monitor->that()

This talk will introduce the benefits of logging and monitoring and a few tips on how to implement them.

Word after word: my writing workflow

From blog posts to internal reports, reviews, documentations, business proposals or social statuses, there is a wide range of cases to write for. Whether you’re an accomplished writer or not, you need to have an established writing workflow in order to create better content with less resources.

In this talk Franz will explain how he starts from a simple idea and develops a good text that is ready to be read by someone else. Tools of the trade, good and bad habits, text accessibility, but also lessons learned from pragmatics, sociolinguistics, and other linguistics subfields.

This session is aimed not only at authors and content creators, but also at all professionals who want to write more effectively for different purposes.

Why switching to WordPress Coding Standards will make you a better developer

WordPress Coding Standards have been around for a while, yet many developers don’t write code that conforms to them, let alone know they exist. This was the case with me until September 2015 when I made the switch, and now I wish I’d dived in earlier! In this talk I’ll explain what they are, how they will help you write better, cleaner and more secure code and why you should be using them for all WordPress projects.

Ethical Outsourcing for Web Developers / Designers

We all live in a ‘gig’ economy.  But how should you work with freelancers to make sure you are all trading ethically?

Is it OK to find the cheapest person anywhere in the world and send them your stuff?  Are there ethical issues around fair wages?  Are there ethical and legal concerns about client data?  How to you deal fairly with copyright and software rights when working with an outsourced team?  How do you find your own way to something robust and resilient that you can be proud of?

In this engaging talk you will explore these issues and create your own ‘map’ of what chimes with your values and business plus get access to our Web Designers Guide to Ethical Outsourcing.

Presented by Annabel Kaye.  Annabel started her career in PR (non profit) before moving on to publishing and consumer law (Which? magazine) followed by advertising and HR.  She founded Irenicon in 1980 (an employment law and HR consultancy) and has spent the intervening years helping some of the largest organisations in the UK (and some of the smallest) sort out the people and employment law issues that come with change.  She founded KoffeeKlatch in 2009 specifically to support organisations outsourcing to freelancers.  Her practical expertise in outsourcing to VAs, web designers, bookkeepers, trainers and more, is a key part of her speakers story.  Follow her @annabelkaye
