Aaron Jorbin is an engineer with Clearspring where he works on AddThis and a WordPress Core Contributor. He has spoken to multiple User Groups and at WordCamps in four time zones. When he’s not busy creating and fixing bugs, Aaron helps run an educational simulation conference for over 1500 college students. He’ll gladly toast to the GPL any day of the week and happily will discuss whisky, quality beer, or the upper peninsula of Michigan anytime he can.
Aaron will be giving a presentation in the Developer Track titled: Moving Beyond jQuery and into Javascript
What are you speaking about at WordCamp Philly?
JavaScript! Specifically moving beyond being a implementer of jQuery plugins and into being a JavaScript developer.
What is your favorite thing about the city of Philadelphia?
It’s the only place on the east coast to get Russian River.
Why do you love WordPress?
Contributing to WordPress has had more of an impact on me becoming the developer that I am then any other single action. Reading WordPress code taught me how to code. Contributing to WordPress taught me to code well.
