Social media is an important marketing arm for many websites and businesses. But in most cases, the content lives and dies relatively quickly. How can you use social media to improve your website SEO?

Michelle will share how she turned a surprise viral video (currently at 31.5 million views) into website SEO gold. Plus, she’ll share how to create strategic social media content that can improve website rankings in Google, regardless of how well they perform on their respective platforms.

Portugal é un país cun só idioma, pero con vínculos comerciais moi fortes co extranxeiro. É habitual usar varios idiomas nas relacións comerciais, polo que as webs (empresa, comercio electrónico,…) deberían estar en varios idiomas, para así poder chegar a un público máis diverso.

Nesta sesión explicarei as distintas alternativas existentes para que a túa web poida acadar un público máis amplo, afrontando un proxecto multilingüe con WordPress

May is European Diversity Month 2023, and we want to harness the opportunity to push the conversation on diversity – and hence on inclusivity – with a panel that will focus on the value of “stepping up” and shining!

The panelists will share their experiences, insights, and best practices to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in the professional world, with a special focus on encouraging women and minorities to participate more actively in public speaking at conferences.

Construyendo relaciones y oportunidades.

En esta charla destacó la importancia de construir una marca personal para los profesionales, la cual es la combinación única de habilidades, experiencias y personalidad que se quiere que el mundo vea. La creación de una marca personal permite una diferenciación en el mercado laboral, mayor visibilidad y reputación, incremento de oportunidades de negocio, desarrollo de una red de contactos más amplia, confianza y credibilidad, control de la imagen pública y una identidad única y auténtica. Explicaré algunos pasos importantes y herramientas que se pueden utilizar para la creación de la marca personal de los profesionales.

As designers, we have a fundamental role in giving shape to the world that surround us and in defining how we interact with it, and yet the design practice is still perceived as – and often confined to – marginal roles, generally aesthetic, superficial and hardly relevant.

As we know, though, “design is how it works”. Which is why it is growingly important to reiterate, promote, support, and reiterate again how fundamental is to cultivate and promote the value of the culture of the design practice.
Just as it’s important that young designers be aware that this job is more like a mission: a lifetime journey, where, along with talent, one must bring – and cultivate – competences, knowledge, professionalism, ethics, values, and value.

Demonstrarei como opero um negócio com base em WooCommerce, quais as vantagens de usar WordPress como core do projecto e espero assim motivar a audiência a usar a plataforma e evoluir como donos de negócio!

In this talk, I plan to provide insights into how to create social media content that captures attention and drives engagement. I will also discuss the benefits of using UGC and influencer marketing and how that plays into creating a community around a brand. I can also cover topics around aesthetics of the grid, messaging/captions, and social media platform best practices.

Os últimos anos trouxeram muitos novos recursos para CSS. No ano passado, um comitê chamado interop foi criado para coordenar novos lançamentos e recursos mais padronizados entre os navegadores.

Esta ação está ajudando os desenvolvedores a usar esses recursos sem se preocupar com suporte, abrindo novas possibilidades para o design de aplicativos da web. E o ecossistema WordPress não está fora desses novos recursos.

Nesta palestra, aprenderá como recursos como consultas de contêiner, camadas e :has() podem afetar o desenvolvimento do tema WordPress. Vamos passar por algumas situações do dia a dia e ver como esses novos recursos podem nos ajudar.

Front-end performance refers to the speed and responsiveness of a website as experienced by the user. It can be improved by optimizing images, minifying code, using a content delivery network (CDN), and reducing the number of HTTP requests, among other things.

Front-end performance in WordPress can be tricky because there are so many chefs (theme, plugins) that contribute to what the HTML document looks like. Fail to keep an eye on things and they will get out of control.

This talk is not at all about server-side performance (even though that is also important), instead, it focuses on how the user’s device processes the page returned by the server, the main challenges, tools that can help you, mistakes to avoid, and yes – because everyone cares about them – Core Web Vitals.

Have you ever felt too ashamed to admit to yourself or others about your state of mind? I learned that there is nothing ever more important in life than my own health – both physical and mental. There have been many times where my path changed and even when I had to break out of my own life in order to protect my health. There is a myth that we all have a destiny and that we know it from a young age. Don’t envy those people!

Only by stepping back once in a while and by reconsidering my personal decisions, did I became who I am today: a pioneer who likes new challenges and who needs to reinvent herself from time to time. Nevertheless, deep inside I am also afraid of change and I struggle with mental health issues. Leaving the comfort zone can be very scary but everything you want lies on the other side of fear.

In this talk, I will give you my insight on why stepping back is important to your progress and to find out who you really are. We’ll discuss reevaluating personal and professional priorities and values, how to understand when you need a rest, and how to keep your mental health up.

We were told to learn Javascript, deeply… But if you are anything like me, still more comfortable in the backend, here are some tips on surviving in this strange new block-based word.

Good people who learnt JS deeply before us have created some nice tools that we can use from the comfort of our PHP, without venturing (much) into the realm of package managers, build processes, compilers, frontend frameworks and other newfangled creatures. And still create beautiful and functional things.

Provavelmente já tiveste um site infetado com malware ou conheces quem tenha tido um. Existem 13 mil ataques por dia em todo o mundo, e é só uma questão te descuidares e pode-te calhar a ti. Mas existem coisas que podes fazer para evitar esse ataque e manteres um site limpo.

Se é tarde de mais e já tens um site comprometido, não te preocupes que também te vou ensinar a limpares e manteres seguro o teu site daqui para a frente.

Das duas uma: ou sais desta talk a saber evitar um problema ou sais a saber como o corrigir 🙂

Nesta talk vou falar sobre como, tanto os profissionais WordPress, como os clientes, devem começar a abordar os seus sites mais como produto e os benefícios associados a isso.

Vou falar sobre como fazer a transição de projetos para produtos, as diferenças básicas entre os dois e também os desafios e recursos associados a projetos e equipas de produto.

Será uma versão em Português e com detalhes adicionais à apresentação que fiz no WordCamp Asia 2023, com foco em particular nas dificuldades específicas deste modelo por parte dos profissionais em Portugal.

It’s clear how PHP has evolved in the last years, but a lot of developers are still using or thinking the same way as if they are using PHP 5 or PHP 7. The idea of this talk is to give a hands-on overview of new and exciting features of PHP 8, how to upgrade old code, and, especially, how you take your way of thinking code to another level.

2022 was remarkable for the explosion of GenerativeAI technologies. DALL-E, MidJourney and Stable Diffusion blew our minds with their ability to generate images from text prompts. Then ChatGPT came along and totally blew up the internet. We’ve seen all sorts of daily tools integrate these new generative AI technologies; from Github’s CoPilot through Notion and even CodeWP – a specialist WordPress code generator.

In this talk, David will explain briefly how these technologies work and how they fit into the broader landscape of both AI and technology trends more broadly. He’ll then cover some of the most impressive and coolest examples of the technology in use today.

This all sets the stage to discuss how GenerativeAI and WordPress intersect. These are technologies that will have a direct impact on the entire array of WordPress stakeholders, right from developers through to end users of WordPress-powered sites. As with any disruptive technology, we will see opportunities and threats. David will help the audience think more precisely about this disruption and how they might best maneuver to enjoy the benefits and avoid the downsides.

These technologies are only going to get more impressive; let’s use them to make WordPress even better!

Dreaming about working in Technology?

Working remotely, building products that improve people’s lives, have flexibility to enjoy life on your own terms. But, coding, might not be your thing. Great, it doesn’t need to. In this 20 minutes, I will share with you my story and my students stories on how to start a career in Tech from zero to IT professional, without coding.

Apesar de trabalhar com projetos WordPress de clientes há diversos anos, ser o líder da equipa local de organização do WordCamp Europe 2022, no Porto, ofereceu-me um conjunto de lições urgentes num mundo em transformação, em particular desde a pandemia.

Foram ensinamentos fundamentais que me ajudaram a tornar-me um melhor profissional WordPress.

Nesta apresentação, revelarei os três ensinamentos obrigatórios (e alguns extras) para o relacionamento com clientes para que te possa ajudar a teres sucesso.

Abordagem de vários tópicos relacionados com a saúde e forma física de profissionais que trabalham muito tempo sentados ou com hábitos sedentários, entre os quais:

• Importância do exercício físico para a saúde física e mental;
• Más posturas durante o trabalho e correções para as mesmas;
• Pequenas e fáceis ações e rotinas a adotar, que fazem toda a diferença;
• Dicas para evitar o sedentarismo e prevenção de doenças associadas ao mesmo.

Remember the famous “5 minutes installation” process for installing WordPress? Let’s see what WP-CLI can do in 5 minutes. And everything else that can happen in the terminal in 40 minutes. We might actually make WordPress instances more secure. Or just break it.

This is not your usual presentation talk. This is a live terminal commanding; SSHing your WordPress administration and development; and releasing the Kraken or two.

Um workshop dedicado ao desenvolvimento de blocos Gutenberg em que, juntos, criaremos um bloco de raiz. Começar do zero é intimidante, mas tiraremos partido de uma série de ferramentas WordPress que nos guiarão nos nossos primeiros passos. Daí, experimentaremos e cometeremos erros, aprendendo a pouco e pouco que não temos de reinventar a roda quando se trata de expandir a funcionalidade de um bloco feito à nossa medida.

Existem formas mais simples de criar novos blocos usando mecanismos tais como variações de blocos, padrões, blocos reutilizáveis, etc. Este workshop ignorará essas vertentes, cingindo-se à definição de novos tipos de blocos.

O workshop destina-se a programadores com conhecimentos gerais da arquitectura WordPress (plugins, acções e filtros, dependências) e com um mínimo de experiência em JavaScript moderno (bibliotecas de rendering ao estilo React, Vue, etc., e arquitectura modular).

• Limite de participantes: 30
• Forma de inscrição: a definir

Caso o teu sistema não esteja pronto no início do workshop, a participação no mesmo fica comprometida.

43% dos sites no mundo usam WordPress e ainda temos password 123456, utilizadores admin com password igual a password. e as pessoas culpam o WordPress por não ser “tão seguro”, a culpa é sua.

Todo o software tem as suas falhas de segurança, mas isso não significa que precisamos ajudar a criar mais falhas, algumas regras básicas devem ser seguidas e temos que evitar a má fama do WordPress ser um gestor de conteúdo que pode ser invadido com facilidade.

The WordPress community has driven the software for 20 years. It has grown and shaped itself as each year has passed. But how do each of us view the community today? What has changed and what has stayed the same? Bob will reflect on the past, look at where we are today and give a little personal insight to where we may be going, as a community.
