Introduction to WordPress Gutenberg

9 April 201810 April 2018In Code

If you follow WordPress development a little, you’ve probably heard of Gutenberg. It is the new editor interface being developed for WordPress 5.0. The goal is to bring the WordPress editor (and larger application) solidly into the modern content management system world. And it has stirred up plenty of controversy along the way.

For the recent WordPress Seattle Developer Meetup, I gave a short introduction and overview of Gutenberg. I highlighted how it works, noted some of the issues with it, and shared how to create your first Gutenberg block (based on the Gutenberg Handbook examples).

Introduction to the WordPress REST API

The REST API has been called one of the most important additions to WordPress in years. Introduced to the WordPress 4.4 Core, the REST API is still in the early stages, but promises to create new development opportunities (and challenges), changing the way we approach WordPress.

These slides are from a presentation I gave at a recent Seattle WordPress meet-up.

My 2016 Goals

At the beginning of 2015, I set some goals for myself. While airing all this publicly felt a bit strange, the exercise provided a degree of accountability and prompted thoughtful contemplation about improving myself over the year. So, in that spirit, here we go again!
