This workshop is an encouraging experience intended for those who want to get their feet wet with WordPress. It is also a great preparation for WP newbies who are attending WordCamp for the first time.
We will start with the “musts” through hands-on demos and walkthroughs:
- The WordPress installation process
- Best practices before and after installing.
- WordPress semantics, intro of the dashboard and basic features.
We will then focus on how to continue your newly found WordPress skills on your own:
- What to expect at WordCamp and how to make the most of it.
- Learning resources and ways to get help
- Inspiration for what explore afterwards
Prerequisites:
No code knowledge required. Laptop if you want to participate. WIFI will be provided.
This is a hands-on workshop. A special ticket to this event is required. Space is limited.

Simply put, Vagrant makes it really easy to work with virtual machines. By using a virtual machine you can create an isolated development environment that matches server configuration, e.g. PHP/MySQL versions, resulting in fewer surprises on deployment (“Oh, it worked on my desktop!”). Vagrant will save you time, is easily installed and will enable you to give the exact same environment to somebody else.
In this workshop we are going install Vagrant and the VVV install of WordPress. Along the way (as we are waiting for the install to finish) you will learn about how Vagrant works, how to add sites to your new Vagrant setup, and about all the tools / helpers that come with VVV.
We will also touch on the VIP quickstart for WordPress VIP work.
Prerequisites:
This talk is aimed at anyone developing WordPress code.
Participants should be comfortable installing programs.

You’re a WordPress developer. You might have a few plugins under your belt or maybe a theme or two. You build WordPress sites for clients or just for yourself.
You’ve heard of this thing called object-oriented programming. Everyone tells you it’s awesome. Yet each time you look into it, it makes no sense! You end up telling yourself object-oriented programming isn’t useful or worth the trouble.
Don’t give up just now! You’ve found the right talk for you.
It focuses on explaining that value to you. You’ll learn why object-oriented programming is your next step as a WordPress developer. We’ll go over basic concepts with WordPress related examples. By the end of the talk, you should have a solid footing to continue learning about it.
Prerequisites:
Some basics of PHP. You should also be familiar with WordPress APIs like the plugin API.
