Upcoming News & Events

Whoa. Almost a month has gone by and I haven’t written a thing on this blog; sorry about that! Since officially announcing my new book, Responsive Design with WordPress, I’ve been working diligently to finish up all of the writing, reviews, edits, and design approvals. I’m happy to say that Monday I will be done completely with the book. In the coming weeks, there will be a lot going on, and I wanted to give everyone a heads up!

About the Book

First and foremost, the book is set to go to print on November 20th, which should put it on the shelves by December 16th. If you can’t wait that long, the ebook is currently in production and should be out before that. I will update this post (and Twitter, and Facebook, and Google+) with the official release date for that.
In the coming weeks, I’ll probably have lots of news, links, sample readings, and even a couple of giveaways for the book so keep an eye out for that. I’ll tag everything on social media with #rwdwp.

Upcoming Events

I’m also going on a bit of a speaking/events tour in the next few weeks. You can see the whole schedule here, but a couple of notable ones are:

  • November 19th at 7pm: NEPA WordPress (@nepawp) @ Vintage Theater in Scranton, PA. Phil Erb will be talking about local WordPress developments. I’ll be in attendance with discounts and more. RSVP here
  • November 21st at 6pm: NEP-Tech group @ Posh in Scranton, PA. I’ll be speaking for about my book, WordPress, and RWD in general. RSVP Here
  • December 7th: Tentatively I will be doing a WordSesh talk. @WordSesh is a completely only, 24-hour WordPress conference. I’ll post more details about that as they come.

At any of these events (and many more), those who show up will get a coupon for 35% off the price of my book, so come on by and say hi!

    WordPress 5.0 Has Been Delayed – What Now?

    If you haven’t been following the dev chats in the WordPress Slack team, there’s a lot of confusion around exactly when WordPress 5.0 will ship.

There were three big topics of focus this season: Find the Right Clients, Productize Your Services (or at least make them more predictable), and Build Your Email List / Network.

  • Never Assume When Teaching WordPress

    Over the weekend I gave a Lightning Talk at WordCamp US called Never Assume When Teaching WordPress. The response was overwhelmingly great! While I don’t normally do this, since it was a shorter talk I’ve decided to post the script I wrote for it. You can check it out after the jump.
