At the last meetup, we examined WooCommerce under pressure. Security failures, AI agents behaving badly, and real examples of how stores get compromised. This time, we’re flipping the angle! The Winter 2026 Zagreb WooCommerce Meetup focuses on how the platform is being built and steered today. We’re hosting speakers from Automattic and the WooCommerce team to walk through recent platform updates, what’s currently being prioritized, and what’s coming next. You’ll hear what has shipped, what’s changing in key areas like checkout and blocks, and how upcoming work is likely to affect developers and merchants building on Woo. You’ll also get roadmap context straight from the people shaping it. Seeing these folks in person in Croatia doesn’t happen often! If you build, maintain, or sell on WooCommerce, this meetup should make your next set of technical decisions easier. **+++++++++++++++++++++** **Lecture 01** **\- What’s new in Woo: latest updates & what’s coming next** WooCommerce has been moving fast. Checkout extensibility, shipping and fulfillment changes, block-first experiences, the Interactivity API, and a growing layer of AI features are no longer “experimental” but becoming the default. In this talk, Brian and Shani will walk through the most important recent changes in WooCommerce and what’s coming next. Expect concrete examples, platform context, and guidance on how these changes affect real-world Woo builds. **Brian Coords** is a developer advocate at WooCommerce and a long-time WordPress developer, writer, and instructor. He hosts a WordPress podcast at Webmasters_fm and writes for WP Tavern, MasterWP, The WP Minute, and his own technology blog. **Shani Banerjee** is a developer advocate at WooCommerce, where she hosts monthly developer office hours and writes about platform updates and extensibility on the WooCommerce developer blog. Her work is shaped by a strong community-first background spanning support, software engineering, and education. **+++++++++++++++++++++** **Lecture 02** **\- The state of WooCommerce: where we are & where we’re going** In this session, Brent will zoom out and talk about how WooCommerce is positioning itself today: what’s driving the roadmap, how Woo thinks about high-growth merchants, and how the platform is evolving to stay competitive in an increasingly crowded eCommerce landscape. This is the “why” behind the updates which will help you understand the bigger picture: the product, market, and ecosystem context that rarely gets discussed outside closed rooms. **Brent MacKinnon** is director of product marketing and developer advocacy at WooCommerce (Automattic). He leads go-to-market strategy, developer relations, and analyst engagement, and focuses on making complex platform decisions understandable to builders and merchants alike. He’s based in Halifax, Canada. **+++++++++++++++++++++** **AGENDA** 18:00 - Meet & greet 18:05 - Talk: What’s new in Woo: latest updates & what’s coming next 18:40 - Q&A 19:00 - Talk: The state of WooCommerce: where we are & where we’re going 19:35 - Q&A After - Pizza & Beer 🍕🍺

Hello everyone, I'm happy to announce our next meetup will be hosted by [Productive](https://productive.io) (Strojarska 20, 5th floor). We'll have an interesting talk followed by a panel discussion, both centered around the challenges of "data imports". The panel brings together experts from a wide range of company sizes and language backgrounds, so we can explore the topic from hands-on implementation to broader business impact. Stick around afterwards for some food, drinks, and conversations. Hope to see you at Productive! \*\*\* **Data Imports** by Borna Artić At Productive, we import a lot of data, and doing it reliably has turned out to be trickier than it looks. In this talk I'll start with the "why": what imports solve for us, what kinds of data we bring in, and what we learned from earlier approaches. Then we'll walk through the current importer and the tradeoffs behind it: validating messy input, keeping complexity under control, and making it fast enough to run at scale. We'll also touch on edge cases like custom fields, missing relationships, and handling repeated data updates. **Panel: Data Imports Across Industries** Panelists: \- Josip Stuhli\, CTO at SofaScore \(PHP\) \- Dario Daić\, Product Architect at ButterflyMX \(Ruby\) \- Borna Artić\, Backend Engineer at Productive \(Ruby\) Moderator: Bruno Sutić After the talk, we'll keep the momentum with a panel discussion on data imports. We'll start from the hands-on problems you see in Ruby code, then zoom out to questions of architecture and long-term maintainability, and finally to the company-level impact: how data flows affect other teams, product decisions, and what the business can (and can't) do with the information it has. Expect a practical conversation with real tradeoffs rather than perfect answers. The panel brings together interesting people across seniority levels, company sizes, and language backgrounds.

Iako smo konstantno u limbu marketinga, klijenata i kampanja ili bombardirani kao potrošači, i dalje se provlači isto pitanje: Što je zapravo osnova marketinga? Koji su to fundamenti marketinga koji se (pre)često zaboravljaju, dok svi ganjaju „brze“ pobjede, nagrade i metrike koje dobro izgledaju na slajdu? Jednostavne stvari za shvatiti, ali istodobno složene za ostvariti. Kako graditi dugoročno brend kroz prepoznatljivost i memorijske strukture, uz pametne kratkoročne aktivacije? Upravo o temeljima marketinga i izazovima koji stoje na putu dugoročno održivom brendu razgovarat ćemo na panelu, kao i o tome koje su najčešće slijepe točke marketingaša.

**PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT NOTES:** 1. The dates listed for this series are about 95% reliable. We are completing our 2026 schedule as we speak, so minor adjustments are still occurring. 2. Each class in this series has an attendance fee, though this first offering is free on a first-come, first-served basis. 3. Each class, from BOTH a sign-up and fee perspective, is a separate entity. **Introduction:** HTML5 is the foundational technology for modern web development, serving as the standard markup language for structuring and presenting content on the World Wide Web. Developed through a collaboration between the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG), HTML5 provides a robust system of elements (tags) that tell a browser how to display text, images, and multimedia in a clear and meaningful way. It works in concert with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for presentation and JavaScript for interactivity, forming the core technology stack for virtually all websites and many web applications today. One of the significant advancements of HTML5 is the introduction of powerful new features and elements designed to improve functionality and simplify development. Key additions include native multimedia support via the \ and \ tags, allowing developers to embed media without third-party plugins. It also offers new form controls for better user input, such as date and email types, and introduces web storage capabilities to store data offline for enhanced performance. These features streamline the process of building rich, interactive web experiences. A significant focus of HTML5 is enhanced semantics and better structural organization of content. New semantic elements like , , , , and \ provide meaningful structure to documents, which aids in search engine optimization (SEO) and improves accessibility for assistive technologies. These elements define different parts of a webpage (e.g., a header for the top, a nav for navigation links, a footer for the bottom), making the code more readable and understandable for both developers and machines. This emphasis on clear structure helps in creating more logical and maintainable websites. Developing websites in today's competitive environment requires taking advantage of every technique you can to get the maximum exposure possible. Our HTML5 class will not only show you what's new in the HTML specification, but also the best way to develop optimized web pages that get the attention your client and/or company requires. **The breakdown of the four-class series is as follows:** **Class 1: Introduction to Web Structure and Basic HTML5** This class introduces the core concepts of web development, the history of HTML, and the fundamental structure of an HTML5 document. * **Topics**: * **Web Architecture Overview**: How browsers, servers, and web pages interact. * **HTML Fundamentals**: Understanding elements, tags, and attributes. * **Basic Document Structure**: Using !DOCTYPE html, html, head, and body. * **Text Formatting**: Headings (h1 to h6), paragraphs (p), and text-level semantics (e.g., strong, em, br). * **Lists and Links**: Creating ordered (ol) and unordered (ul) lists, and linking between pages using anchor tags (a). * **Activity**: Students create a basic personal webpage containing text, a list of hobbies, and a link to an external website. **Class 2: Semantic HTML5 and Multimedia Integration** Class 2 focuses on modern HTML5 elements that provide meaning (semantics) to content, improving accessibility and search engine optimization. It also covers adding images and multimedia. * **Topics**: * **Semantic Elements**: Understanding and implementing elements like header, footer, nav, section, and article. * **Images**: Adding images using the img tag and attributes like src, alt, width, and height. * **Multimedia**: Embedding audio and video content using the audio and video tags. * **File and Folder Structure**: Best practices for organizing project files and managing file paths. * **Activity**: Students refactor their Class 1 project to use a proper semantic layout and add an image and a link to a video file. **Class 3: Forms and User Input** This session is dedicated to building interactive HTML5 forms, which are essential for capturing user data and input. * **Topics**: * **Form Basics**: Using the form element, action and method attributes. * **Input Types**: Exploring various input types (e.g., text, password, checkbox, radio, date, submit). * **Form Elements**: Utilizing label, textarea, select, option, and button. * **Client-side Validation**: Implementing HTML5 validation attributes like required, minlength, and pattern. * **Activity**: Students build a complete contact form with different input fields, radio buttons, and basic HTML5 validation. **Class 4: Introduction to CSS3 and Basic Styling** The final class introduces Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to style the HTML content and make the web pages visually appealing and accessible. * **Topics**: * **CSS Fundamentals**: The role of CSS, selectors, properties, and values. * **Integrating CSS**: Using inline, internal, and external style sheets. * **The Box Model**: Understanding margin, padding, border, and content for basic layout. * **Basic Styling**: Changing colors, fonts, and text alignment. * **Accessibility Basics**: Identifying principles of web design usability and accessibility, including ARIA labels. * **Activity**: Students apply an external CSS file to their Class 3 form project to style the layout, colors, and fonts, culminating in a well-structured and styled webpage.
