For the last few months, I’ve been writing extensively about two related, but seemingly contradictory points: the first is that learning a JavaScript MVC framework doesn’t equal learning JavaScript deeply.

This is a great option for parents who want to bring their kids along, but it’s even more beneficial for the children themselves. Introducing children to WordPress early is a great way to open their eyes to technology and coding. David Laietta, WordCamp Orlando organizer, sees kids’ activities just another way to make WordCamps even more inclusive. “This can be improved by offering up ways to get the younger members of our community more involved,” he said. “As well as give […]
