Large community projects introduce constraints on how we program. Our biggest assets aren’t the hardware we run on or the language we use – it’s each other. How can we code in ways that respect each other and capitalize on that “asset” of the contributor-base? In this talk, we’ll discuss techniques and patterns which may not be intuitive from our own learning journey but which foster quality and overall project health.

Tide is a series of automated tests run against every plugin and theme in the directory and then displays PHP compatibility and test errors/warnings in the directory.

Tide is currently in development for Integration on WordPress.org, and as soon as it will be merged with WordPress.org, all Plugins and Themes will have a Tide Score attached to them.

This will help users better understand what plugins and themes to install so they don’t break their sites with incompatible plugins and themes.

The coding standards Tide uses are WordPress-Core, WordPress-Docs, and WordPress-Extra from the PHPCS WPCS project.

This will eventually help Developers write reliable and secure code.

My Topic if selected shall cover the following workflow.

• Introduction to TIDE – Audit and Score WordPress Themes and Plugins based on Code Quality
• How will TIDE affect User Decision while choosing Plugins and Themes?
• How shall Tide improve the WordPress Ecosystem?
• How to install Tide Tests in a Local Environment?
• How to improve Code Quality and pass TIDE Audit?

My aim was too aware the Developers to prepare for TIDE and improve code quality and to follow strict WordPress Coding Standards.

Gutenberg is the newest editor for WordPress that is expected to be included in WordPress’s next major release 5.0. It’s named after Johannes Gutenberg, who invented a printing press with movable type more than 500 years ago. The current visual editor requires us to make use of shortcodes and a lot of custom HTML to make a post/page look nicer and it’s not very easy for the beginners or even the experienced users.

Gutenberg is being designed to integrate with WordPress core. It will add content blocks and page builder-like functionality to ease the writing experience and make it a real WYSIWYG ( What you see is What you get) experience. When in use, it will replace TinyMCE as the default content editor. With Gutenberg, content is added in blocks of various types from the WordPress backend, thus trying to make this easier, especially for those just starting with WordPress.

In this session, Faishal and Umesh will introduce you to this new WordPress editor which will be a mixture of some brief talks, demos, discussions, and workshop.
Some principal questions which will be answered here include:
— What would it mean to the general user?
— What does it mean to a developer?
— What happens to WordPress projects already completed?
— When should you migrate people to Gutenberg?
— When should one pitch Gutenberg to a client?
— How can we contribute to Gutenberg?
— How will Gutenberg be rolled out?

Attendees are requested to bring a laptop if they are interested to play around the same parallelly. However, it is NOT mandatory.

Launching a WordPress site is easy. Yet, selecting a theme and plugins can be extremely challenging.

When Nirav set out to revamp his website, he wanted to “get it out the door soon”. Little did he know of the monster that lay ahead…

He wanted the best WordPress theme. So he reviewed and tried all the major themes out there – on WordPress, ThemeForest, popular theme shops.

After about 3 months work, he made his new site live. And he got 6x more customers. Bounce rate dropped, time on site improved, conversions improved – every metric saw a boom.

In this session, he will get answers to all these questions…

* Why he rejected 418 themes?
* What roadblocks he faced with a great looking theme?
* What took much longer than theme design? Don’t overlook this.
* Why his site looks good despite being copy-pasted from other sites?
* Why his theme designer friend told him that he does not need a theme…
* One neat trick that can save you hours if your marketing team is going to manage content

If you are a developer building websites for others or a business that owns a site; there are some golden lessons for you in here.

About the Workshop:

Stories make consuming information easy. Stories help to identify problems and solve them. In the workshop we will do fundamentals of stories, how to write a story based on the basics – beginning, middle, and end.

Then we will make a story on the spot, and encourage the audience to tell it in front of an audience.

Writing and telling stories are two different things, and through this exercise, we will discuss how our brain functions when we do two seemingly identical exercises. The idea of the workshop is to make them think differently and be open to using a novel approach to solve problems as using a novel approach helps to reach a solution. Apart from writing and telling stories, we will play a game where the audience gets to pick up a card and create a story.

Workshop:

1. An introduction to stories using examples of movies and analyzing them.
2. Discussions on themes, characters, and plots using stories.
3. Doing a story together. Each participant adds one element to the story.
4. How to tell a story.
   a) Using hands.
   b) Using flashbacks.
   c) Using chronology, sequences…

Exercises:

1. Pick up cards, to make a story ( individually).
2. Pick up cards, to make a story (in a group).
3. Writing one line story on a favorite movie. Like Lion King.
4. Look at your partner find something interesting, and make a story of it (eg a vintage hand watch, a cute button or a pen ( add a spin to it, like magical, lucky, etc))
