Wow, last month really was a great meetup – lots of new faces with great discussions on various topics.
This month we return to having a speaker, as we welcome back Adam Tomat, who previously came to speak exactly 2 years ago.
“Supercharging WordPress Development in 2018”
> Often WordPress themes are not easy to change, maintain or fun to work on. This can rule WordPress out as a viable option for bespoke, non-trivial websites.
> In this talk we’ll dive into how this happens & look at how we make your theme easier to change. For the more technical attendees, we will also go into how using Lumberjack, a powerful MVC framework built on Timber, can be used to power-up your themes.
Adam is a lead developer at Rareloop in Southampton (https://www.rareloop.com/) . He is an advocate for progressive enhancement, accessibility, collaboration, OSS, and making code easy to change.
We look forward to seeing you, having some good discussions and helping out with any WordPress problems you might be having.
We also set up our Facebook group after it was suggested last month – https://www.facebook.com/groups/1858422950908992/

6.45pm – Pizza & Drinks
7.00pm – Talk
Pizza and drinks supplied by our sponsors 34SP.com (https://34SP.com) and Delicious Brains (https://deliciousbrains.com/).

*Parking*
There are free car parking spaces directly outside the building. The signs say that you can only park for 30 minutes but that’s only until 7pm so if you arrive after 6.30 then you should be good!
Alternatively, there are often spaces along Gervis or Meyrick Road.
There are also various pay and displays in the area, the closest being Cotlands Road:
