WordPress London Meetup - October

It's that time of the month already! #wpldn this month is focusing on the community and coding standards.

Missed a #wpldn recently? Catch up at wpldn.uk (https://wpldn.uk/)

WP Open Mic.

An opportunity for us as a community to discuss what's on our mind. It might be the latest plugin you've found, the fact that WordPress now has a REST API, you're struggling with getting yourself started in business, or maybe you'd like the groups opinion on a workflow? Whatever's on your mind this is an opportunity for us as a community to support the community.

Why switching to WordPress Coding Standards will make you a better developer.

WordPress Coding Standards have been around for a while, yet many developers don’t write code that conforms to them, let alone know they exist. This was the case with me until September 2015 when I made the switch, and now I wish I’d dived in earlier! In this talk I’ll explain what they are, how they will help you write better, cleaner and more secure code and why you should be using them for all WordPress projects.
