Fixing Fraud and Improving SEO with Blockchain Timestamps
The internet has a deep-rooted trust issue. How do consumers know whether the information presented by websites can be trusted? How can website owners claim ownership over their content?
In 1991, blockchain was invented for timestamping documents. With a timestamp, you can prove that you didn’t tamper with your content. With timestamps, your readers, buyers, and search engines can prove your integrity. How are WordPress and blockchain timestamps building blocks for a better internet today? Is it too late to fix the broken web?
With his enthusiasm, Sebastiaan takes you on a 20-minute journey showing how we can truly fix the broken web with open-source code and community, together ❤️

Why Progressive Web Apps for WordPress?
Progressive Web App is a hot topic on the web right now.
As per recent studies (Comscore), users spend more time (87%) on the native app compared to the mobile web because native apps are more predictable, they work offline, show notifications and have access to mobile sensors.
However, 78% of the time is spent in the user’s top 3 apps, and the rest of the apps just sit there and eat up the memory.
Mobile web, on the other hand, has a better reach (100 visits/ month for an average user) but does not does have a native-like experience.
In this talk you will learn, how we can combine the capabilities of native apps and the reach of the web, to get the best of both worlds, using Progressive Web Apps with WordPress.

How to create a UTM tag protocol
Measuring your own marketing efforts and knowing how they perform is pretty essential if you want to optimize your marketing even further. You can customize how Google Analytics tracks your traffic data by using UTM tags. With these parameters, you can tell exactly how visitors end up on your site. There are 5 UTM tags you can use that can tell you more about the way your visitors landed on one of your pages. For instance, you can (and must) add UTM tags to the links in your newsletter. And if you use UTM tags properly, it can send data to Google Analytics that not only tells you that visitors came from one of your newsletters but also which newsletter, on which button they clicked but also the exact pagelink they clicked on. Now that’s a lot of data that shows you how your newsletter performed. Data you can use to optimize your newsletters even further.
But with all this freedom in the way you can create UTM tags lies the danger of not consistently using UTM tags. Or just not really think things through when coming up with UTM tags. And that might harm your data. You need to create a sustainable UTM protocol that you can use to properly analyze your data on levels you want to analyze your data. So how do you come up with a good UTM tag protocol? What things do you need to take into consideration when coming up with UTM tags for your emails, for your social media efforts or for your plugin if you have one? In this talk I’m going to walk you through the process of developing a decent UTM protocol for your business.

Level up your coding: The whys and hows of local development
Many developers know to NEVER do changes directly on a live website, lest we break it.
What if though, you don’t have access to a staging or development environment? Or even if you do, what happens if you are in a situation where you do not have reliable internet access! Local development environments to the rescue!
We’ll touch on why it’s so important, and discuss the plethora of options available. Please note all examples will be shown from a Mac OS, but environments for Linux and Windows will be discussed.

The Commons – the importance of being open and sharing / my story
Marija will talk about how the commons gave her an opportunity to learn, contribute, evolve and why is that important. The commons today is an Internet. With the internet we have new ways of sharing software, code, images, website themes, information… enabling the growth of the digital commons that we have now. People can share their ideas easily due to that possibility. Ideas are the driving force of human progress and the building blocks of creativity. Digital commons are Wikipedia, Wikimedia, open source such as: Bootstrap responsive framework, WordPress CMS, Unsplash, and many, many others as well. Web is built on open source by wonderful altruistic people.
The commons is not about the profit, it is about people, the community, a dedication and persistence. It is open minded philosophy, a social, cultural and an an artistic movement. We are putting our curiosity, experiences, personalities, and beliefs in it. As technology improves, a question arises: How better can we be as humans? Fortunately, with the digital commons you can leave your footprint in a compassionate way. Technology with good people must bring compassion, the willingness to help others.

The Art of Work Estimation
Giving time estimates for projects and features is a shared reality of many developers’ recurring tasks. Unfortunately the whole business of work estimation is inherently broken in many ways that cannot be fixed. Navigating risks, fuzzy scopes and missing specifications is less science and more of an art to be mastered.
As a senior developer, I have been a key part of creating many quotes along the years and I will share the mistakes and insights from my journey. I cannot fix the work estimation but I can help you avoid a few pitfalls and give you better tools. Estimation work has been sort of taboo in the developer community and it is time to break the silence.

Less is more – Caching tips for WordPress developers
They say there are only two difficult things in computer science: naming things and invalidating cache. No wonder WordPress site developers often fail to get caching to work correctly, especially since the caching happens on so many levels in the web stack. Caching is everywhere, from the server CPU L1 cache to a mobile phone’s browser cache, so developers can’t avoid using it. Thus everybody needs to grasp how it works and utilize it correctly. This talk is guaranteed to save a lot of time for everybody!
