In a recent Torque article, I gave a basic introduction to AngularJS using the WordPress REST API. I also had the privilege of presenting on this topic at WordCamp Miami and will be covering AngularJS with WordPress at an upcoming webinar for WP Engine. This topic is important to me because I think that embracing API-driven JavaScript interfaces will help us bring the experience of WordPress forward and ensure that WordPress continues to be known for the quality of its interface. My personal choice in a JavaScript MVC framework is Angular. You may prefer a different one, but for my work, […]

It’s given the community at large plenty of time to absorb the implications of what is a genuinely transformative shift in the platform’s nature. As we teeter on the edge of a REST API-powered future, now is an excellent time to take stock of its development to date, recap why it’s at the heart of the next stage of WordPress’s evolution, and take a punt on what we can […]
