WordCamp NEO 2016 presentation "Custom Responsive Theme Workshop" by David Brattoli
While we could use many different frameworks, premium and free themes to build our sites, I have found you need a truly custom framework to build a base to build new themes quickly to meet your project needs. This method to create a framework and then to create a child theme for the look of the site, will allow you build future sites quickly and efficiently. The session will cover why we choose this method and framework, the challenges we faced, how we tackled the challenge, and what we ended up building to solve the problem. I'll also reveal the pitfalls we discovered and how we overcame those as well.

WordCamp TOR: Beyond The Guidelines - Theme Development Best Practices (Vol 1)Chip Bennett
As Theme developers become more accustomed to the Theme Review Guidelines, the overall quality of WordPress.org repository-hosted Themes has improved tremendously. However, ample opportunity for continual improvement remains. As the Theme Review Team continues to refine and improve the Guidelines with each new WordPress release, I believe that we can work together with the Theme developer community proactively to implement community-standard best practices. In this presentation, I will discuss areas for such best practices, including Theme inline documentation, proper copyright attribution and copyright declaration, Child-Theme readiness, proper enqueueing of scripts and stylesheets, and a few, other miscellaneous areas.
