From Cowboy Coding to Professional Developer

We all start our WordPress journeys as a cowboy coder – slinging code right on a production server. At some point in that journey that catches up to you… you break a website, drop a database, make code changes that you can’t revert. Learn how this developer went from a cowboy coder to a professional WordPress developer using techniques gathered from being an enterprise contractor working in .NET.

This session will cover topics like setting up local development environments, deploying to production, version control, dependency management, managing multiple sites, and more.
