Workshop and Time:
Training-Leveling up with Efficient Code Management – Sunday, October 1 at 1:30 pm
If your way of reusing custom code across projects is to copy and paste, this one’s for you. Come learn how to streamline your development cycle so you can take on more work from more clients. Instead of adding or making changes to a custom function on a site, by site basis – develop custom code in a single location so it can be reused across projects efficiently.
We’ll explore advantages to separating functionality from design with custom plugins and discuss why a centralized distribution strategy is critical to scaling development services. After this brief discussion, we’ll spend the majority of our time implementing such a strategy for a simple custom plugin.
Walk away with:
– Dedicated location for the development and maintenance of a custom plugin (GitHub)
– Scalable distribution and update strategy for custom plugins and themes
– Basic Git skills
