WordPress Widget Boilerplate: Aiming For 1.0

November 5, 2012 / Tom / 0 Comments

In the same way that I’ve been working on the WordPress Plugin Boilerplate, I’ve never really done a good job of handling versioning. I’ve simply closed tickets as they’ve been opened and I’ve resolved issues as I – or others – have encountered them.

Next month, I’m hoping to officially tag it and the WordPress Plugin Boilerplate as version 1.0, but I’m hoping to get a few more eyes on the code prior to doing so.

This weekend, I spent some time closing tickets, refactoring some code, and improving a few aspects of both of the boilerplates to improve its overall standard.

Here’s a run down of everything that’s been updated since the I initially launched the WordPress Widget Boilerplate:

WordPress Plugin Boilerplate

Since I’ve been working on the WordPress Plugin Boilerplate, I’ve never really done a good job of handling versioning for it. Instead, I’ve closed tickets as they’ve shown up and I’ve resolved issues as I – or others – have encountered them.

Next month, I’m hoping to officially tag it and the WordPress Widget Boilerplate as version 1.0, but I’m hoping to get a few more eyes on the code prior to doing so.

Have You Built an Application with WordPress?

November 2, 2012 / Tom

Comments are closed. I'd like all feedback on your WordPress Application sent to my inbox.

Earlier this week, I shared my thoughts on building web applications with WordPress. Overall, I’ve really enjoyed the discussion that’s happened in the comments, but there’s been one question that’s continually cropped on in the comments and in my inbox:

Do you have examples of applications built on WordPress?

Noted developers Konstantin Kovshenin and Vladimir Prelovac chimed in with some of the WordPress applications that they’ve built, and I’m in the process of finishing up a few projects that I’m planning to cover here, but I know there’s more out there.

An Update on Another WordPress Podcast

November 2, 2012 / Tom / 0 Comments

A couple of weeks ago, I asked if anyone thought that there was room for yet another WordPress Podcast. To be honest, the response was a bit overwhelming.

How awesome, right?

In addition to all of the comments, I also received numerous emails and even a few tweets about this – anything ranging from people who are looking to help out to those who are looking to volunteer to be on the podcast.

Around the same time, my team at 8BIT have been planning about rebooting our own podcast as we’re preparing to launch a new property in the WordPress space, too.

As I move forward with this, I thought it’d be fun to give updates as to where I stand with the state of the podcast, the plans for it, and what you can look forward to once it’s rolling.

Comment Tweets For WordPress

Comment Tweets For WordPress

For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been recording a premium screencast for Envato in which I share how to build a WordPress plugin from the ground up using professional development techniques such as object-oriented programming, proper use of Actions and Filters, LESS, CodeKit, and more.

While working on the screencast, one of the things that I wanted to do was to showcase exactly what it’s like to build something from the ground up, release it, and then experience the various comments, support issues, and so on. After all, that is the norm for releasing projects to the public.

The result of all of this is Comment Tweets For WordPress.
