This presentation was given to the WordPress Hamilton Meetup on April 16, 2015. The purpose was to scratch the surface of that which is Jetpack. The assumption was that the viewers knew nothing about Jetpack and had a beginner level of knowledge as it relates to WordPress. This covers some of the favourites that many people use, as well as some of the new functions that have been incorporated into WordPress's JetPack.
