One of the awesome parts about buying a product always includes the test drive or the free sample. The same goes for themes and plugins. However, are theme demonstrations being completely honest when it comes to showing off the goods?
In this session, Russell Aaron of WebDevStudios will discuss the pros and cons of coding standards when it comes to building themes and plugins. He’ll also be taking a deep dive into three WordPress theme demonstrations to show what they are really selling you on.
If you’re a beginner navigating the wild world of WordPress theme and plugin marketplaces, don’t miss Russ’s talk at 9:50 AM on July 9 in the Dwarf Star.
Russell got his start coding by building MySpace band layouts and using the blog feature on MySpace to share triumphs and failures. After writing 50 blog posts, a friend of mine showed him WordPress.com. After his next 50 blog posts, the same friend showed him how to install WordPress on his own website. Since that day, he’s spent every minute of every waking hour learning WordPress.
