In this talk, we’ll look at how to modernize development of WordPress sites by setting up our local environment properly, using WP-CLI to interface with WordPress through the command line or even create scripts to run operations, how to use composer and plugins specifically designed for developers, and ways to deploy WordPress that are easier and more stable than FTP. In addition, we’ll talk about new considerations that Javascript is bringing to the WordPress ecosystem.
Come take a look at how the WordPress ecosystem is maturing in 2019 and beyond!
