Daniel Olson will talk about the future of WordPress by starting with the past. Specifically, the challenge to learn JavaScript deeply and why he believes it’s still our biggest opportunity. He’ll also discuss the JAMstack, a modern web development approach using JavaScript, APIs, and Markup. It sounds new, but in fact, WordPress has been doing this since the first Gutenberg block. He will demonstrate using this approach with concepts related to Gutenberg, the WordPress REST API, the role of accessibility, voice as an interface, and more. This session welcomes all WordCamp attendees, from seasoned developers to community newcomers. It’s designed to inspire and set the stage for what’s possible.
