Next I will go into how I see (with WP-API) WordPress can be a faux MVC, and how the view layer can be anything you want. I will focus on showing how AngularJS can make for a great theme or view layer. I will finalize my presentation with a case study of CodingOfficeHours, a web app built with a headless WordPress.<\/p>\n<h2>What do you want people to learn from your presentation?<\/h2>\n<p>That WordPress is and will be much more then people think today. The fundamentals of how to use WordPress to build out a client-side application and as a faux MVC.<\/p>\n<h2>Why did you decide to speak?<\/h2>\n<p>I love to speak, I speak consistently at meetups and just spoke at my first WordCamp (WCLAX). I am excited to speak at more and hopefully I can get better and think of newer and awesome things to talk about!<\/p>\n<h2>What attracted you to WordPress in the first place?<\/h2>\n<p>I was just getting into web development having learned the basics. My friend showed me a link to a blog engine that I could use to build out a simple site of sorts.. that was version 0.7 or 1.<\/p>\n<h2>What is your favourite plugin or theme, and why?<\/h2>\n<p>I don&#8217;t have a favorite, as a developer I tend to stick to coding most of the code myself, however I do use ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) a lot, as well as WooCommerce. I really like W3TC for cache&#8217;ing and my CDN connection as well.<\/p>\n<h2>What are you most looking forward to at WordCamp Toronto?<\/h2>\n<p>I have been part of the Southern California community of WordPress for over a year now, and I love it. It will be nice to see what another community is like.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am a developer, I am a car fanatic, and I like long walks on the beach at sunset because I live in Southern California.
