February 2016 ***Not Beginner*** Meetup

Effortless REST API with Astro Javascript Framework

Anyone with basic HTML knowledge (no programming skills required) should be able to use the WordPress REST API with the help of Astro. Astro is an open source Javascript framework that renders JSON content, only using HTML.

Astro displays WordPress content anywhere that HTML is supported. The demo will include a web app, a native app and Digital Signage (Link and source to each example will be provided).

Presented by: Hector Jarquin and Ting Yang

Meeting Details:

This is a meetup in our “Not Beginner” series. This series of talks is for WordPress (or related) presentations that are not at a beginner level.  Anyone at any experience level is welcome to attend, but there will be an assumption in the presentations and discussion that attendees have some knowledge of WordPress.
