The conference aims to provide an opportunity for WordPress developers, regardless of their background, to come together to tackle more advanced engineering and development. There are going to be topics that are geared toward enterprise level engineers, but we’ll also have sessions that are great for intermediate or self-taught WordPress developers who are looking to take that next step in their careers, Ryan Sullivan, event organizer indicated in an interview. If you love to code, and love to code on the WordPress […]
