WordCamp Vegoose

Just a little wrap up from WordCamp Vegas that was this last weekend. I had a great time, I am always impressed with the WordPress community. Open, caring, and would literally give you warm cookies just for driving down to Vegas.

This trip was a lot of fun. The conference was great, lots of really good, relevant talks. Highlights included Brandon Dove of PixalJar.net gave a great presentation about Child Themes vs. Theme Framworks. Having built a bunch of custom themes and child themes, personally I have stayed away from frameworks, but after hearing him, I kind of want to dig into Thematic and see what else there is to learn. Also really like when we looked into a site and he said, “This filter applies to all the single ladies.” Kind of a WordPress joke…

I had the opportunity to present myself, and was really happy when John Hawkins invited me to come down at WordCamp Utah. I spoke on the Loop, on how to build custom queries, template tags, and working with custom post types. My slides, similar to the WordCamp Utah ones below:

I also enjoyed hearing the flamboyant Eric Marden and hearing him speak on DevCraft: Best Practices for WordPress Teams. I never worked professionally as part of a dev shop, so his comments were interesting on a lot of levels. Taking a lot of his critique and commentary to heart, hoping to become a better developer as a result.

I guess this brings me to the crux. No one is a perfect developer.  For all of the WordCamps that I have been to, (been to eight now in the last two years) there is always something to learn. For the $20-$30 that they normally cost, there is no better way to spend a Saturday learning from everyone around you on how to be a better developer, better blogger, or better designer.

Hope to see you at the next one!

WordCamp 2010 The WordPress Loop

The document discusses The Loop in WordPress, which is used to display posts on a page. It introduces basic template tags like THE_CONTENT() and THE_TITLE() that can be used within The Loop. It also covers how to create custom queries using functions like QUERY_POSTS() to modify the main loop, for example to exclude certain categories or show posts from only one category. The document notes an important distinction between QUERY_POSTS(), which overrides the main query, and GET_POSTS(), which can be used to create secondary loops on a page. Finally, it discusses how to query custom post types and shows an example of adding a filter to modify The Loop via a plugin. - Download as a KEY, PDF or view online for free

Just a few photos from last year to add color to the announcement.
