The WordPress Weekend Roundup

Whew. Another week, come and gone. It’s getting faster it seems, right?

I mean, it’s already February! Where did the first month go and how are we almost half-way through the second?

There have been a lot of great conversations and great content being shared all over the place and we couldn’t possibly have gotten to it all – so in our typical fashion, here’s our Weekend Roundup:

1. The Discussion of Flat Icons

This has been a big one over on Core Trac. Or, for some, it’s another example of how “design theory” shouldn’t be in a “developer” area.

Either way, there’s a healthy debate going on over 3.6 and icons.

2. Wireframes for Handbooks

Things are coming together nicely for the upcoming handbooks that should seriously rock. Here’s a preview of one such concept:

Handbook-wireframe-01 — Handbook Concept Wireframe

3. Post Revisions in 3.6

Things are also moving strongly in terms of Post Revisions in 3.6. Updated concepts and wires are being delivered at a decent pace!

4. Storyboarding in the Software Design Process

This is a neat look at storyboarding in terms of software.

5. Jesse Petersen at WP Engine

WP Engine sits down with Jesse Petersen in this candid interview.

6. How to Get the Most out of a Premium WordPress Theme

Although this article is limited in a few ways (just my perspective) it is a good primer for those that are looking to enter this space.

7. How to Push Code from Github to WordPress

Another great intro for those that are deploying code via Github.

8. _S Version 1.3 Now Available

Come get you some awesome.

9. Developer Plugin

Develop in WordPress? You might want to take a look at this.

10. Pagely – W3TC and New Relic

An interesting look at how Page.ly uses New Relic to create performance.

11. Build Something People Will Buy

Austin Gunter of WP Engine shares his thoughts on making things that users will buy.

12. Mastering WordPress Configuration – wp-config.php

An interesting overview of things to consider. Not comprehensive, by any stretch, but a good start.

13. Tracking Links with Google Analytics

WP Beginner will show you how.

14. How to Use Sequel Pro with MAMP

Our own Tom McFarlin gives you a great overview. I use this as well for local dev.

15. Open Letter to Joomla Client

If you need something silly to brighten a few minutes of your day then you can read this.

I don’t agree with all the statements but many of us will relate. You can swap Joomla for WordPress and it would be the same thing.

16. WP Candy New Year, New Sound

Is WP Candy coming back in full force? It seems there have been a number of new podcasts and audio recordings as well as some decent long-form content.

Not bad!
