WordPress and Laravel: The Hows, Whys, and Intersections

Join us for a joint meeting with the Madison WordPress and Madison Laravel groups!

Talk:
Do you work with WordPress and wonder if there are other tools and frameworks where you could leverage your PHP or JS knowledge? Should you be using WordPress for all your projects?

Do you work with Laravel and wonder why some developers still choose (and love) to work on WordPress?

Come along on the journey as we dive into the how and why of using WordPress and Laravel, the points of contact between the two paradigms, and how we can approach projects armed with the best tools for the job.

Come also for the discussion, as I’m hoping this will generate some fun chatter and give myself and others opportunity to ask questions of the WordPress and Laravel communities.
