Rob La Gatta from Modern Tribe explains some of the current and future features of The Events Calendar and Events Calendar Pro at the July 2015 East Bay WordPress Meetup
WordPress developers think WordPress is easy, but many site owners--our clients--have a very different idea. Here's why people find WordPress difficult to use and some ways we can make it easier.
Sallie Goetsch shows several examples of ways to customize Modern Tribe's plugins The Events Calendar and Events Calendar Pro, including importing events from another plugin, setting up an event slider with Meta Slider Pro, integrating The Events Calendar into a Genesis child theme, using shortcodes from Event Rocket, creating a horizontal list widget with photos, and modifying the Photo view to show an equal-heights grid instead of a masonry grid.
The document discusses the history and integration of forums in WordPress. It notes that forums were originally integrated through XML-RPC and paired plugins, but in 2011 WordPress introduced built-in forum functionality, allowing forums to be natively included. A graph shows the rising popularity of WordPress from 2004-2012, along with increasing downloads of the bbPress plugin before and after its integration within WordPress core in 2011.
The document promotes the features of the PhpStorm IDE for developing WordPress plugins and themes. It summarizes the major features such as intelligent PHP and HTML/CSS editing, debugging and testing tools, code formatting and refactoring tools, and support for version control and databases.

Version control software like Git allows users to track changes to files over time through snapshots called commits.

While Git can be used locally, hosting repositories remotely allows for data backup and collaborative work through features like branching and merging.

This document provides an overview of developer tools and techniques for working locally. It discusses the benefits of developing locally using a LAMP stack on one's own system or in a virtual machine. This allows the use of debugging and profiling tools like XDebug and XHProf which require full server access. It also emphasizes the importance of version control and using preprocessors like SCSS, Sass and LESS to write CSS.
The document discusses WordPress apps and mobile trends. It notes that there are over 5 million app downloads total, with a major iOS update coming next week. It encourages attendees to get involved in shaping the mobile future of WordPress through translation, the mobile development site, and weekly app development chats.
