This talk will cover WordPress coding standards, best practices, and technical tools to become a better developer. This will be a resourceful presentation for anyone beginning, interested in, and those who have been developing with WordPress for a long time. Some of the topics covered will be proper usage of hooks and filters, creating your own plugins (instead of always using that functions.php), making use of the mu-plugins folder, how to properly escape and sanitize user-generated content, security gotchas and more.
The talk is geared at beginning developers as much as it is for advanced developers. Basic php knowledge is strongly recommended, though not required.
