How to Organize Your Content Through Navigation and WayfindingShanta Nathwani
Posts vs. Pages & Categories vs. Tags. There is so much confusion about what types of things should be put on a page and what should be in a post. Static vs. Dynamic content is the best way to tackle this. When creating a website, you can edit a menu to include not only pages, but also categories that can create a more complete experience.
Organizing Your Content - WordPress Hamilton March 2020Shanta Nathwani
Many people overlook the organization of their content and present it to their visitors reflected in their navigation. What does the visitor do once they've made it to your website and want to read more? If they can't find what their looking for, they'll leave.

WordCamp Hamilton - CPT's vs Gutenberg TemplatesShanta Nathwani
In our last episode, dear campers, we learned about Custom Post Types (CPT’s) and Advanced Custom Fields (ACF’s) and why we need them. We had everything clear, right? Enter Gutenberg…
Until Gutenberg, we had to copy over content from one old post to the new. The other option is to use CPT’s and ACF’s. What’s the difference? When should you use one or the other… or BOTH?
In this session, we’ll take a quick review of CPT’s and ACF’s, then compare them to Gutenberg Blocks and Templates, and discuss when you should use each and why.
An Affordable REST - Coder Camp Hamilton 2019Shanta Nathwani
This presentation talks about the need for municipalities to take more of an interest in presenting their constituents with information, especially around affordable housing. How much work and money can be saved if they invest a little time in disseminating information on a website, rather than hoarding it? I was able to produce this project in 5 days as a student. What's their excuse?
This presentation was given to the WordPress Hamilton Community in the hopes of diversifying the speaker submissions for WordCamp Hamilton and beyond. We had a small but mighty group and with the help of the Diversity Training at WordPress, we were able to encourage a few more speakers.
This case study was presented at Full Stack Toronto Conference 2017 showing the case for my project, An Affordable REST, which helps people find subsidized housing in Toronto. This was a full stack project, using React and Node.js

When creating a website, you can edit a menu to include not only pages, but also category archives that can create a more complete experience.
This is a talk about my experience of importing open data into WordPress for use with FacetWP. This is a paid plugin and very useful for doing a different type of information architecture.
This presentation was prepared for the inaugural WPCampus in Sarasota Florida on July 16, 2016. It was designed to show not only out of the box solutions, such as WordPress and BuddyPress/bbPress, but also what we have designed ourselves
This is the presentation given at WordCamp Hamilton 2016. This is a follow up to my WordPress 101 talk given last year and goes more into detail about hosting, hiring a professional and general practices about selecting themes and plugins.
This is a follow up presentation to my original WordPress 101 session. Videos and previous slide decks are included. The purpose of this presentation is to make business decisions after someone has decided to go with the WordPress Platform.
This is the presentation I gave to the WordPress Hamilton Meetup on October 15, 2015 at Co-Motion on King. We discussed Information Architecture as well as how this methodology can be used as a Content Strategy.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Editor's Notes
We are going to go through the very basics. If you have specific requests for pages, please leave it until the end.
I haven't specifically timed this so, let's see where we end up.
About Me: Far quicker than it used to be.
We may not get to actually build a home page, and they can vary so much. My goal with that is to show you how to select that page if that’s what you want.
I just celebrated one year yesterday with Weever Apps. I was a bridesmaid at my friend’s wedding in Mexico a few weeks ago. So I love this shot
I used to teach WordPress at Sheridan College with Kiera Howe for 6 years. I also developed the WordPress curriculum at Mohawk College.
Make sure you get to WordCamp Hamilton on June 1!
You won’t see the dashboard, but you’ll be able to see the result.
My little bit of WordPress Contributor Day. Milwaukee 2015, we built a deck so that we could have the speaker dinner.
I'm developing my own courses, so I'd love to hear from you about your questions and what I can do to make it better!
