The future for WordPress and JavaScript is looking bright. This is in large part due to projects like Gutenberg, which are leading to JavaScript usage blossoming. Many existing WordPress developers will, therefore, need to learn the language to design modern websites. However, to do so you’ll require a WordPress install full of content to work with, and you’ll almost certainly come across a myriad of files that could play havoc with your learning. Fortunately, there are a number of tools available that don’t require a full WordPress installation. These are essentially sandboxes that let you code snippets without having the other elements in […]

Last year, Matt Mullenweg encouraged developers to “Learn JavaScript deeply.” He said, and I agree that future of WordPress will use JavaScript-driven interfaces powered by the WordPress REST API.  Using JavaScript in conjunction with the REST API makes for a great experience for both the developer and end user, which is why every WordPress developer should have some understanding of JavaScript. For this vision to be a reality, that can’t just apply to WordPress core. Plugins and themes will need to deliver a similar experience. A great JavaScript framework is the fastest and most scalable way to deliver that in […]

I was lucky enough to attend A Day of REST Boston (ADoR) on March 9, along with many of their workshops. If you’ve never been, and if you develop themes or plugins for WordPress, try to make next year’s event. I’ve never been to a conference that had as many smart people talking about tangible uses and implementations of the WordPress REST API. React, and Vue, and Backbone, oh my! JavaScript frameworks dominated the conversations. Whether it was old-school Backbone, the big dog React, or the newcomer Vue, every workshop, and almost every presentation featured at least one of these frameworks. […]

It’s been a less than a year since Matt Mullenweg confirmed what many in the WordPress world had long been suspecting – JavaScript is at the heart of the platform’s future. The subsequent launch of Calypso on WordPress.com also served to drive the point further home. Naturally, all of this sparked something of a stampede among developers to finally fully engage with the language’s potential, rather than treating it as something they occasionally have to deal with on the front end. Learning to love the widely used libraries is a major part of the process. In this piece, we’ll help you jumpstart […]
