WordPress can be intimidating sometimes, especially if you aren’t code-fluent. These Saturday development talks will take your site to the next level – from form builders to CSS tricks to web compliance. Here’s a taste of things to come.
“#Facts: A Form Builder Can Do That”
By Naomi C. Bush
Naomi’s been working with WordPress as a professional developer since 2005. You can currently find her over at gravityplus.pro, where she specializes in quickly delivering custom business applications at a fraction of the cost.
She contributes back to the WordPress project through the core code, codex documentation, free plugins, organizing the WordPress Gwinnett meetup, organizing WordCamp Atlanta, and speaking at WordCamps.
Just about everyone has a form builder, but it can do a lot more than just contact forms. In her presentation, Naomi will show you how powerful a simple form builder can be. Attendees will learn how to augment their native form plugin to tackle a variety of tasks – with no “specialized plugin,” freelance developer, or custom code required.
