The document discusses using the WordPress theme customizer API to create visual theme options. It covers adding sections, settings and controls to build a theme customizer interface. Custom controls can be created as custom PHP classes. Settings can be saved as options or theme modifications and refreshed on the page or via asynchronous postMessage updates. Resources for learning more about the theme customizer are provided.

Nuxt.js is a minimal framework for creating Vue.js applications with focus on UI rendering and abstracting away client/server distribution. It offers static site generation of Vue.js apps, a single page application mode and Server Side Rendering in combination with a backend like Google Firebase's cloud functions.
Docker used to be served off of a number of Django apps. This talk is about the standardization that has happened in the last year in building UIs at Docker.
Getting Creative with WordPress QueriesDrewAPicture
We’re at a point now where we have these incredibly powerful query classes in WordPress core that allow you to really tailor down to whatever criterion you want. In this workshop, Drew will provide some real-world examples of some crazy stuff you can do with queries – it’s very much a “sky’s the limit” kind of situation. Queries are really interesting and powerful, and a lot of people are intimidated by advanced queries, even with the abstraction layers that WordPress has put in place.

Reviews the basis of using JavaScript within WordPress. How to load in scripts correctly and move PHP data into JavaScripts for later use. Presented at WordCamp Las Vegas 2013
The REST API is an awesome plugin to expose your data from the WordPress core. But … the standard implementation might not fit your specific case.
Just like the WordPress core, you'll be able to extend it to your specific needs. I'll show you how to handle authentication, introduce caching strategies, alter custom post types, or even change the default way of communication altogether.

WordPress Development in a Modern PHP WorldDrewAPicture
WordPress’ minimum-supported version is still PHP 5.2 (gasp!) but that doesn’t mean you should let that hold you back from leveraging modern PHP features in your plugins and themes!
In this talk, we’ll take a deep dive into ways you can start leveraging modern PHP features today to bring new life to that old plugin or theme. We’ll cover how to code partial plugin activation for old versions of PHP, use autoloaders and namespaces, setup group aliasing, use return type declarations, leverage traits, and much more.

Getting Creative with WordPress Queries, AgainDrewAPicture
This is an update to a talk I gave three years ago at WordCamp Cape Town 2015. We’re at a point now where we have these incredibly powerful query classes in WordPress core that allow you to really tailor down to whatever criterion you want. In this talk, I take you through the outermost abstraction layers and deep into the SQL that WordPress actually uses to query for stuff on your site – it’s very much a “sky’s the limit” kind of situation.
Queries are really interesting and powerful, and a lot of people are intimidated by advanced queries, even with the abstraction layers that WordPress has put in place.
How to Win Friends and Influence WordPress CoreDrewAPicture
Presented at WordCamp Portland, September 23, 2017.
It’s no secret that one of the WordPress core team’s greatest barriers to entry is contributors feeling like they don’t have anything of value to offer; nothing could be further from the truth.
Every potential contributor has something to offer whether they realize it or not, and this session will give them many of the tools and advice they’ll need to succeed in helping to influence the future of WordPress.
Topics covered: entry points for contributors of all levels, whether they’re developers, designers, copywriters, or everyday users. We’ll briefly cover the process of joining the “Making WordPress” community, methods to have your voice heard, submitting patches and keeping trac tickets moving, bringing core down to the local community level, and more.
This talk encompasses the idea that each of us can be empowered to use and improve WordPress through beta testing of upcoming releases. The 4.4 release is set to hit Beta 1 just three days before WCPDX, which makes this talk a unique opportunity to educate WordCampers on the value of beta testing, and even to interactively participate in testing the next version of WordPress during the talk. I’ll cover my personal journey and lessons learned in dogfooding WordPress for a living, as well as ways anyone (yes, anyone) can get started testing with little to no barrier to entry.
In this session, Drew will be sharing insight into how a WordPress release happens, including an overview of all the moving parts, teams, organization, and execution. A lot of people have this idea that the core team is solely responsible for new versions of WordPress getting released, which couldn’t be further from the truth – it’s an intricate ballet of multiple contributor teams coming together and executing a broad vision.
He will talk about how a release cycle is structured, how and where the decision-making happens, as well as all of the various contributors and teams that play their own part in a successful release. It’s very much opening the black box of how a release works.
Setting Up WordPress: A NUX Case StudyDrewAPicture
This topic was presented at WordCamp Europe 2015 in Seville, Spain.
Synopsis:
Once you’ve installed WordPress, what now? For new users, that’s just one of a multitude of inevitable questions. What’s a post? A page? A theme? Where should I start first? In a short attention-span world, first impressions are everything, and WordPress is making it harder than it needs to be for new users.
There’s a case to be made for helping to guide users through the process of post-install set up. In fact, there’s user testing data that makes the case for us.
The goal of this talk is to examine that test data – taken against existing and potential wp-admin flows – and form conclusions about how WordPress can get out of its own way to improve the new user experience. We’ll talk about solutions that exist in the community right now, and opportunities to get involved in reshaping WordPress’ first impressions.
Core Docs: Sentencing WordPress to 11-years-to-lifeDrewAPicture
Core docs extend far beyond maintaining dated Codex pages and writing inline comments. In fact, even the way core code is written is a contributor to core documentation. And in all the ways we contribute docs, we need to ensure they stand the test of time.
This talk takes a stroll through the docs roadmap devised Summer 2013 and how that’s progressing. We’ll examine the diminished role the Codex will take going forward, as well as highlight some exciting initiatives coming into the fold — including the handbooks, code reference, and more.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.
