What are you speaking about at WordCamp Philly?
In my talk I will cover the ‘Beaten Path’ philosophy behind a lot of the new html5 entity tags. Attendees should expect to learn the history, reasoning and understanding of what it is that they are adopting and how to benefit from it today!
What is your favorite thing about the city of Philadelphia?
The cheesesteak! What else is there in Philly? Ohhh.. Also the Liberty Bell and South Street.
Why do you love WordPress?
WordPress is fantastic platform for building website. It is remarkably easy to get up and running even for the technologically challenged. It’s also extremely flexible and extendible for seasoned developers. The community behind it, is probably the strongest and most passionate community behind any open source software. This passion really shines through in the level of sophistication that has gone into it’s development. I love WordPress because quite simply, it’s WordPress.
