For our May meetup, we'll be doing our standard two-speaker set with time for networking before, between, and after. Talk descriptions and bios below!

Templating with Twig and Timber

Gabe Salkin (@DigitalGravitas (https://twitter.com/DigitalGravitas))

Looking to supercharge your HTML? Hate PHP but love adding some logic to your themes? Maybe you want to bring some MVC order to Wordpress’s chaos? Come learn about Timber, a powerful framework for Wordpress that allows developers and designers alike to power their websites using the Twig templating language.

Gabe Salkin is the (only) web developer for The Aspen Institute (https://www.aspeninstitute.org/). He graduated from the George Washington University with a degree in Journalism but ended up a developer. When not going on Twitter rants about Apple not updating the Mac Pro, he enjoys a nice beer.
