Att strukturera din utveckling enligt MVC-principer i WordPress är utmanande. Det kan göras på många olika sätt och en del säger att det är omöjligt. Jag visar praktiskt hur jag går till väga i mina projekt och vad fördelarna blir för projekten samt öppnar för dialog med dig som utvecklare. Tillsammans gör vi utvecklingen kring WordPress bättre.

One of the most beautiful and powerful features of WordPress is its flexibility and extensibility – everybody can make WordPress to fit their needs.

But with great power comes great responsibility of doing things the right way. Any WordPress developer can tell endless horror stories of sites they took over from somebody else – modified Core, modified plugins, thousands of lines of code in functions.php, etc.

This talk introduces the main ways of extending WordPress and explain how to use them properly, with particular emphasis on WordPress hook system.

Finding the right balance between making money and contributing to any Open Source project is hard. In this talk we’re talking about why it should be done and giving some examples how it can be done.

As a part of the design team for the biggest WordPress conference in the world — WordCamp Europe, I worked on branding, website theme and various other tasks. As a designer, it was challenging working under “constraints” of open–source, but I pulled through and learned a lot in the process, and I’d like to share that experience with you.

This talk is not about which tools to use or how to pick the project to contribute to. It’s about becoming a better designer by honing your communication skills and empathy towards your colleagues and people who will end up using your designs. By volunteering and contributing to open–source projects you’ll get the opportunity to work on challenging or a particular type of projects you might not otherwise have.

The design is less about making beautiful pictures you can sign your name onto; It’s more about creating a positive impact and improving the experience of the people using it.

Have you heard that someone is not a real developer if they don’t use a certain tool, technology or method? Have you heard someone call themself a WordPress developer, but don’t know how to write code? Let me clear up some misconceptions and tell you what it takes to be a real developer.

In this talk I’ll try to explain why some misunderstandings occur, remove some frustrations, and inspire those who are curious into trying to code.

Något av det bästa du kan göra för att öka din bloggs läsekrets och livslängd är att välkomna fler skribenter. Men hur gör man? Vilka fallgropar finns att akta sig för, och hur hittar man folk som vill skriva? Micael talar utifrån sin egen erfarenhet av att förvandla Hela Pingsten från en privat blogg till en tankesmedja med över 15 skribenter.

“For the first time since its inception, CSS now has a real two-dimensional layout tool in the CSS Grid specification. We’ve had to resort to using floats, inline blocks and most recently, flexbox. Because using these for layout is essentially a hack, we’re often tempted to resort to grid frameworks like those provided by Foundation and Bootstrap.

Using examples, my talk will look at how we can do what we’ve done with frameworks using CSS Grid instead, and also how we can do things we couldn’t do before without complex tricks or JavaScript. I’ll also share some thoughts on using CSS Grid in production today, accessibility concerns and tips on the best resources for learning more.

This talk will be useful for both beginners, intermediate and long-time front end devs who aren’t yet too familiar with CSS Grid. It should also be interesting to designers who want to know what is possible with todays CSS.”
