Supercharge Your WordPress Site with Your Very Own Plug-In
We typically think of plug-ins as WordPress extensions that are developed for use with many different sites but there’s a great opportunity to enhance your WordPress site by developing a plug-in that’s designed just for your site.
Adrian Cho will talk about how he developed and maintains a plug-in for one of his most active sites to enhance both the user and administration experience. The discussion will cover WooCommerce integration, cron jobs, custom REST API and SSO for integrating your site with other services, and more.

“Not Beginner” series:
This is a meetup in our “Not Beginner” series. This series includes anything that is, well, not a beginner/introductory level topic. Thus, talks in this series will range from not very advanced at all – just barely above beginner – to deep dive dev talks.
Anyone at any experience level is welcome to attend, but for “not beginner” talks there will be an assumption in the presentations and discussion that attendees have some knowledge of WordPress, and/or the presented topic.

Gravity Forms and it’s plugin ecosystem
Jamie applies his diverse development, support, and consulting talents as a member of the small-but-mighty team at Gravity Flow – the preeminent tool for building business process / workflow automation into your WordPress website. During his 15 years using or developing with WordPress, he has enjoyed helping friends, family, clients and colleagues scale their WordPress sites for fun and profit. Off the keyboard, he enjoys rock climbing, woodworking, board games and the peaty-est of scotches. The first half of this presentation will give you an overview of what makes Gravity Forms the grand-daddy of form engines for WordPress and many ways to use many of its’ certified add-ons to deliver projects at every scale of business from hobby projects, small org customer focused sites, corporate intranets to enterprise-scale initiatives that integrate all the APIs. The second half will draw on questions/ideas from attendees to show how you can put those plugin puzzle pieces together quickly to deliver complex challenges with no (or low) code easily.

Local Development Sites – Led by Miriam Goldman
—
Most developers use a local environment, to develop their websites, before moving them to a staging environment online. This allows you to develop without having to worry about hosting or domain names (yet). We’ll discuss why you should take this approach, and show some different options you can employ.
NOTES:
– All live options will be shown on a Mac, but we will discuss the Windows/Linux equivalent.
– To migrate sites to/from local environments backups are often used, so you may wish to attend the May 6th meetup prior to this one, where backups will be discussed.
