Developing with WordPress, the JAMstack way

Let’s talk about the future of WordPress by starting with the past. Specifically, the challenge to learn JavaScript Deeply and why I believe it’s still our biggest opportunity.

We’ll also discuss the JAMstack, a modern web development approach using JavaScript, APIs, and Markup. It sounds new, but in fact, WordPress has been doing this since the first Gutenberg block!

Join me as I demonstrate using this approach with concepts related to Gutenberg, the WordPress REST API, the role of accessibility, voice as an interface, and more.
