Speaking at WordCamp Philly

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!

I'm Speaking - WordCamp PhillyJust a quick note that I’ll be speaking tomorrow (Oct 20th) at WordCamp Philly! My talk is called Building a Simple WordPress Framework. Here is the description:

This is a talk modeled after my 4-part series on WPTuts+, DIY WordPress Theme Framework. I’ll cover some basic rules of software reuse and defining your needs, what’s out there, why I made my own, and then some code: The important elements of WP themes and what should be included in the framework, how to use that framework as a child theme, and how to use it as a starting point for a parent theme.

I’m part of the Designer Track and will be speaking at 1:15pm (full schedule here). Come on by! If you can’t make it, I’ll be around both days so feel free to stop me and say hello.
