Session Details: You’re Doing It Wrong

Chris Scott, who is one of the lead WordPress developers at Voce, spends the better part of most work days developing some custom component for WordPress. Even better, a lot of what Chris develops is then hosted on WordPress.com’s VIP hosting service which means everything that he develops is scrutinized by the folks at WordPress.com. We felt a great session would be imparting some of those lessons learned.

So, taking a page (well, a few posts) from Dion Hulse Chris will use code from some common plugins to point out what you shouldn’t be doing in your WordPress code and how to do it right. Due to the the fast pace of updates to WordPress, lack of WordPress experience, or just trying to get things done, there’s a lot of plugin code in the that is not using the most current WordPress methods, not doing things the “WordPress way”, or just plain doing it wrong. Learn from the mistakes of others and learn to write kick-ass code.
