Brad will be giving a classroom session titled: Creating Your First WordPress Plugin
What are you speaking about at WordCamp Philly?
I’m teaching a class on developing your first WordPress plugin. The class will cover an intro to plugin development, plugin dev basics, and we’ll even create a fully functional WordPress plugin from the ground up!
What is your favorite thing about the city of Philadelphia?
I love the diversity in this city, especially in the tech areas. There are some great tech groups in Philly centered around just about every tech topic out there. Philly really does have a small town feel for such a large city and that’s one of the reasons it’s such a great city to live in!
Why do you love WordPress?
The Community! The WordPress Community is like no other out there. Everyone is so eager to help each other, it truly is amazing!
