WordPress 101 - Understanding Fundamental Concepts in WordPressLucy Beer
Lucy Beer is a WordPress expert who has been helping individuals and small businesses with WordPress since 2004. She provides an overview of key WordPress concepts including posts, pages, menus, themes, plugins, and widgets. Posts are for regularly updated content and use categories and tags, while pages are for static content. Themes control the look and feel of the site, and plugins add functionality. Resources for learning more about WordPress include WordPress TV, WPBeginner, Meetup groups, and conferences.
In programming you can choose sides. You can choose the front or back end and if you really can’t choose you can be Switzerland and choose full stack.
For this meetup at the ANWB we've sided with front end and we had 3 Girl Coders who led us through different tech and aspects of front end coding.
Presentations:

The Case for the WordPress REST API | WordCamp Montreal 2016Roy Sivan
There are many reasons ways the REST API can be utilized, but why should we care? Why are any of these reasons so good we need to have the API in core vs. a plugin? I will take a non-code approach to explaining from the basics, why the REST API is not just a good thing to have for development, but a good thing to have for WordPress to keep it going and keeping it relevant. Then you can be the judge if it is a good and necessary addition.
Building a JavaScript App powered by WordPress & AngularJSRoy Sivan
For my talk at WPCampus 2016
I use Angular, Firebase, and WordPress to create a LIVE real-time notification plugin that allows you to send a notification to all active users on your website, LIVE.
The document discusses several common myths about WordPress performance and security. It notes that while some plugins can slow a site down, others speed it up or have no effect. Inactive plugins and themes still need updates for security. Revisions and trash do not significantly impact performance. WordPress scales well for large sites. It is used by major companies and organizations, not just blogs or amateurs. WordPress security has improved, but proper precautions like updating plugins are still needed. Function calls are cached so removing them prevents functionality.

Serverless Architecture for Augmenting WordPressJapheth Thomson
This document describes Japh Thomson's case study on using serverless architecture to augment WordPress and handle responsive images more efficiently. It outlines the problems of hosting large image libraries on WordPress sites with high traffic and many devices. The solution involved using the Tachyon image processing service on AWS Lambda to generate images on-the-fly and store them in S3/CloudFront. This saved on storage and processing costs compared to traditional WordPress hosting. The plugin and serverless approach made the sites faster and more scalable for users across devices.

HijackLoader Evolution: Interactive Process HollowingDonato Onofri
CrowdStrike researchers have identified a HijackLoader (aka IDAT Loader) sample that employs sophisticated evasion techniques to enhance the complexity of the threat. HijackLoader, an increasingly popular tool among adversaries for deploying additional payloads and tooling, continues to evolve as its developers experiment and enhance its capabilities.
In their analysis of a recent HijackLoader sample, CrowdStrike researchers discovered new techniques designed to increase the defense evasion capabilities of the loader. The malware developer used a standard process hollowing technique coupled with an additional trigger that was activated by the parent process writing to a pipe. This new approach, called "Interactive Process Hollowing", has the potential to make defense evasion stealthier.
