Speaking Session
The Ghost of Metadata Past, Present, and Future In the Developer track
Your Presentation
We’ll be going over the Metadata API / UI project and the affects it will have on the plugin / app landscape.
What do you want people to learn from your presentation?
I want people to think about how they structure their content and how they can add more context so that other plugins and apps can know more about their content for much tighter integrations.
Why did you decide to speak?
I was given the opportunity to speak by an organizer of WCTor and I was very excited to be able to present about what I believe is the next level for the WP API and metadata.
What attracted you to WordPress in the first place?
It was PHP, it used MySQL, and it was pretty easy to use. So I came for the PHP, but I stayed for the community and the mark I could make through developing plugins and helping people.
What is your favourite plugin or theme, and why?
I love using Gravity Forms and the power you can wield with it. As the lead developer of Pods, I can’t say Pods though 🙂
What are you most looking forward to at WordCamp Toronto?
I’ve never been to Toronto or to Canada, I’m excited to meet Canadian WordPressers and see another side of what matters most to this region of users and developers.
