My Slides from WordCamp Philly 2012

Note: This article was published while I was in my early 20s. I was much younger and dumber. Please don't hold it against me. One of the perils of having a 20+ year old website!

Here you go! The slides from my talk, “Building a Simple WordPress Framework” at @WordCampPhilly are available for download, as well as the framework I came up with. Thanks to everyone who came out!

If you have any questions or comments/please email me at joe [at] casabona [dot] org. A note on the framework, I recently made some changes that aren’t fully tested yet, but this is the version I’m running at casabonaorg-staging.eowgdit8-liquidwebsites.com/test/.
