Agenda
Learn WordPress (learn.wordpress.org)
Whether you’re a first-time blogger or seasoned developer, there’s always more to learn. Community members from around the world are contributing resources that will help you learn more about WordPress and share it with others. We’ll discuss the learn.wordpress.org site, the Codex, and other learning resources. (beginner to intermediate – presented by Mark)
Gutenberg in 2021 (site editor and more)
During State of the Word 2020, Joen Asmussen gave a 3-minute demo of the beta-version of the Site Editor that will come to WordPress as part of the Full-Site Editing experience. Learn about this and other exciting Gutenberg developments coming in 2021. (intermediate to advanced – presenter Shaun Andrews)
Good old-fashioned Show & Tell
Show a cool feature on your site – or show us your favorite plugin. Highlight things that you’ve made and/or find interesting. Like a good old-fashioned show-and-tell. This evening, Eric Frisino shared a Python / WooCommerce integration he built for his business.
