Presentation: Here Be Dragons – Debugging WordPress
“Few people ever present talks on debugging WordPress even though most wp devs will spend most of their time debugging. Quite paradoxical.”
What unique perspective are you bringing to this talk?
“I spent most of my professional career focused on web technologies specifically backend web technologies; starting with C++ to Python to PHP to Node.js.
Over the years, I’ve accumulated a couple of tricks on how to debug applications running remotely. I’ve also had the opportunity to chat with other developers running very scalable WordPress installations and backend technologies along with people who spend most of their time thinking DevOps.
This talk will have battle-hardened tips and tricks from the trenches, truly and hopefully will equip you slay the debugging dragons.”
What’s one really cool thing people will discover during your session?
“Debugging WordPress is EASY! I will show you how easy it can be to debug your themes and plugins. I will show you a really cool tool that lets you figure out why your website looks different on your client’s browsers and why they’re complaining without you having to leave your chair!”
