Development | WordCamp Sydney 2016

Say “Hi” to Robert Wilde who will be speaking this year at WordCamp Sydney.

Robert is currently a Cloud Technology Developer and Consultant, but he has had a lot of roles over the years.

For more than two decades he was worked in many different fields of technology from Associate Electronic Engineer to Technical Director at of one of Australia’s biggest Nightclubs. Then after many years working with small businesses, focusing on server and networking support, he made the logical transition to the CLOUD.

Now with a strong focus on WordPress custom themes and plugins, as well as other online CRM/CMS’s including Microsoft Office365 and Google Apps, he assists clients with building and adopting online business solutions. After developing a love for frameworks like Laravel PHP and AngularJS, he also enjoys teaching his young son, Hunter, the joys of code.

In his talk, Robert will be introducing us to his development workflow moving websites from development to staging and finally production.

He’s share all the tools, tips, and tricks you need to ensure each and every project runs as smooth as silk.

We’d like to introduce Peter Wilson to our line-up of WordCamp Sydney speakers.

Peter is a web-developer with twenty years experience, a CSS junkie, a WordPress Engineer at Human Made and a guest committer to WordPress core.

He has worked in both client services and on enterprise applications.

His portfolio includes working on sites for some of Australia’s largest listed companies and highest profile performers.

Peter has spoken at many WordCamp events over the past few years. More recently he has just spoken at WordCamp Europe.

Peter’s talking about contributing to WordPress core.

Almost everyone will have heard the phrase “don’t hack WordPress core” before, what’s less known is that it’s only the start of the saying. Don’t hack WordPress core, without contributing the hacks back.

Contributing to WordPress core is like riding a bike, it takes a little effort to get started but once you learn it’s a skill you’ll never forget.

In this talk you will be given a jump start on contributing, from how to use the bug tracker all the way to contributing a patch and getting your first props.
