WordPress Workshop: Templates and Template Tags Demystified
Los Angeles Meeting & Event Center (map)
The Southern California Meetup Group announces our February meetup:
Templates and Template Tags Demystified: A WordPress Workshop
presented by Austin Passy
Austin Passy is a freelance web designer and WordPress developer. You can find his work at Frosty Web Designs, and follow him on Twitter.
This workshop is open to all, but is particularly intended for our web developer members who are learning to develop custom WordPress themes or who are interested in customizing prebuilt themes. Thorough knowledge of HTML and CSS are required for creating custom themes, but if you just know a little you might pick up a few tidbits for tweaking a theme.
Our sponsor, Packt Publishing, has also provided us with a copy of WordPress Theme Design that we'll be raffling off during the meetup. Automattic (the company behind WordPress) has also provided us with WordPress swag - pencils, buttons, stickers and tattoos.
Purple Pen Productions, our group's sponsor, will be providing light refreshments. Please note any special restrictions (vegetarian, vegan, allergies, etc) when you RSVP.

Marc HalperinHearing about coding HTML was interesting but I prefer to work in a WYSIWYG environment unless absolutely necessary. Was hoping to learn more about Tags.
-
Tom WatsonIt was structured pretty randomly, but Austin is good at explaining things, and I learned A LOT. I really learned what I came for, and more. Thanks for having this WP Meetup - it was great.

Mary Ann EpsteinI enjoyed the evening. A little bit over my head but I got some ideas of what was possible. Now I can find more info on how to get it done. Very good experience. I look forward to future events.

David Oshima+2 guestsThe topic was advanced and there was definitely a mix of user levels in the room -- Frosty is a great resource and a wealth of information. Thanks to Natalie and Purple Pen for putting together this valuable (and FREE!) meetup.

Linda ShermanI very much appreciate Natalie's WordPress Workshops. They are gift to the WordPress user community in LA.

OpheliaGreat nuggets of information, I didn't know frameworks existed until now. A lot of it seemed to go over everyone's heads (including myself!) but the few things I understood were really helpful. In fact, already started to put the knowledge to good use. Passy really knows his stuff! And having some freebies and a giveaway drawing at the end is always nice :)

ShawnI got good advice on some plug-ins to use, and how use child templates over the ones I have selected with Wordpress.

Oh ooops, I didn't read all the way down. I am vegetarian. Thanks, Purple Pen Productions, for asking what our restrictions might be.
