The WordPress Hacker's Guide to the \Galaxy() w/ Jason Rhodes
- February 20 · 6:30 PM
As someone who started with PHP as a self-described "WordPress hacker", I had a hard time finding the path to becoming a knowledgeable programmer. Having now stumbled a short way up that path, I think we can make it easier for anyone who's interested in finding it. I'll share a brief overview of the tools and concepts I wish I'd known getting started, including MVC, templating languages, caching with APC, exception handling, version control, PHP tips, etc. I'll finish with a few suggestions for how advanced programmers can get involved with some of the popular platforms, learning from how Drupal and Symfony are working together on Drupal 8.
Jason Rhodes is a speaker at MidwestPHP on March 2 and 3rd in St Paul, MN. He's a PHP and JavaScript developer at Johns Hopkins University, and he spends his free time working on a PHP library that will teach his 2 year old son to ignore the Star Wars prequels.

Mark me as a tentative YES. I'm trying to re-arrange my son's evening so that I can make it out!
