@bronsonquick

define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true );
@bronsonquick

define( ‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true );
debug.log
@bronsonquick

define( ‘SCRIPT_DEBUG’, true );
WordPress will use the "dev" versions
of core CSS and JavaScript files
rather than the minified versions.
@bronsonquick

Create a newsletter in less than 17 minutes without writing a single wordNik Cree

Put up your hand if you are guilty of starting a weekly newsletter, all with good intentions to keep writing and publishing only to struggle to get the first one out and have it fall by the wayside at issue two or three. Let’s face it, who has 3 to 5 or more hours a month to sit down and dream up good content to write on a regular basis? Running the businesses and working with clients gets in the way and no one I know (let alone me) wants to spend a Sunday tapping out well written prose to send to clients to keep in touch, possibly with a touch of guilt at putting aside an activity which is so important. This lead me to find an easier way to create a regular newsletter in less than 30 minutes a week. Don’t believe me? Then, try this and tell me I’m wrong.

WordPress as a Headless CMS - Bronson QuickWordCamp Sydney

The WP REST API infrastructure was introduced in WordPress 4.4. The introduction of this infrastructure allows WordPress developers to now use WordPress as a headless CMS. A headless CMS has its frontend component (the head) stripped and removed from its backend, and what remains is a backend delivering content via an API. Some common use cases for headless CMS are as follows: Serving data to other web applications Mobile Apps Websites and web apps built with MVC-style JavaScript frameworks Developers can install the WP REST API plugin to expose endpoints for WordPress for posts, pages, media and users. Developers can also extend the WordPress core REST infrastructure to register their own endpoints for custom post types and WordPress options. The WP REST API plugin will expose database content via JSON. This data can be used by developers to create sites using JavaScript frameworks such as React and also use the JSON data in mobile apps. Bronson will explain and demonstrate how you can use WordPress and the WP REST API to create a website that uses React on the frontend and WordPress on the backend as a headless CMS.

Making websites with WordPressJosh Lee

The Future of-the CMS (Twin Cities DrupalCamp 2015)Todd Ross Nienkerk

In this session, we will rethink the role of designers, the purpose of a CMS, and how we manage and consume content. We will discuss: (1) The tension between a design and a CMS. Should your design be optimized for your CMS? Or should you modify your CMS to achieve your design? In other words, are you walking the dog, or is the dog walking you? (2) "Headless" Drupal: Drupal as a backend with multiple frontends. Drupal's theming layer is difficult to master and expensive to upgrade between major releases. We will discuss how the frontend and backend can be decoupled to provide better experiences for users, developers, and designers alike. (3) Content as a service. Decoupling isn't just about separating the frontend from the backend or making upgrades easier. In fact, the real power of headless Drupal is separating content from presentation, allowing you to connect any number of websites, channels, or devices to a single source of content through an API! (4) TWiT.tv case study. We'll close by discussing how Four Kitchens work with This Week in Tech to relaunch TWiT.tv as a decoupled Drupal site with an exposed API allowing their fanbase to directly access content. Get ready for some really big, innovative ideas! (This session was delivered at Twin Cities DrupalCamp on June 27, 2015.)

Blazor - An IntroductionJamieTaylor112

Blazor is a new web framework that allows web applications to be written in C# instead of JavaScript. It uses WebAssembly to run .NET code directly in the browser. Developers write Blazor apps using Razor components with HTML and C# code. At runtime, the Blazor runtime compiles the Razor components to WebAssembly, which generates the app's rendering tree and updates the DOM efficiently as the app runs. Blazor provides a way to build interactive client-side web UI using .NET instead of JavaScript.

The Image that called me - Active Content Injection with SVG FilesMario Heiderich

Mario Heiderich gave a presentation on active content injection using SVG files. He discussed how SVG files are XML-based and support scripting, allowing execution of JavaScript. This enables security issues like XSS. Browser implementations of SVG are inconsistent, with different levels of script support depending on how SVG files are deployed (inline, via <img>, etc). Exploits discussed SVG vulnerabilities in Firefox, Opera, and Chromium. Defense is difficult due to lack of documentation and filters, and new vectors are found weekly. Future work proposed a SVG purifier and raising awareness of issues.

Core plugins - WordCamp UK 2010Peter Westwood

Core plugins in WordPress are community-developed plugins that are tested and developed alongside the WordPress core codebase. They aim to remove single points of failure, promote good practices, provide niche features on a separate cycle from core, remove bloat from the core code, and make it easier for developers to get involved. Some examples of core plugins include Importers, Health Check, and Post-by-Email. Developers can get involved with core plugins by contributing on their Trac projects or mailing lists.
