Developers being developers, the exact schedule probably won’t be defined till Thursday night. Here are some of the topics currently being bandied about:
- What happens when (a) WordPress loads and (b) gets a request
- File Structure
- Debugging Tools
- Actions and Filters
- wp-settings.php
- The building blocks of web development: HTML, CSS, PHP and JavaScript
John James Jacoby is leading the Developer 101 team, so be confident you will have one awesome afternoon, getting you ready for the main event.
See you next week!
