Christopher Boyle, WordCamp KC 2019

Saturday, June 29th, 4pm – Capitol Federal Conference Center (RC 101)

Do you have an idea for the next great plugin? Have you already built a plugin but are having trouble keeping up with your own code? Do you work with a larger team and need a way to help keep your code organized for multiple contributors? Are you just tired of dumping code snippets into your theme’s functions.php file? If you find yourself in any of these groups, the WordPress Plugin Boilerplate may be just the solution you have been looking for. In this session, we’ll talk about what the WordPress Plugin Boilerplate is, what it does for you, how it is structured, and how you can use it to get a massive head start on your next plugin project. By the time we are done you’ll have a great new tool in your tool belt that will speed up your development time and make your plugins more maintainable and flexible.
