Partnering on the WordPress Plugin Development Handbook

December 6, 2012 / Tom / 0 Comments

Shortly after the WordPress Community Summit, Siobhan McKeown pushed forward with an effort to formally put together several handbooks for the WordPress community.

The Handbooks include:

Core
Support
Documentation
Mobile
…and several more.

Out of all the handbooks being written, I’ll be contributing to the WordPress Plugin Guide – a handbook for plugin developers.

WordPress Hub Magazine

One of the things that I love to see is how people use different ways to contribute to the WordPress community. Outside of the usual theme, plugin, and application development efforts, there are also a number of blogs, sites, and podcasts (of which I should have more information on later this month, as well).

Depending on what other applications you have installed on your system, you may not actually have command line access to Git. If that’s the case and you’d rather not install the full Xcode development suite (because it does include the command line utility), there is an alternative.

WordPress For Christmas with WP Snippets

November 23, 2012 / Tom / 0 Comments

It’s a day after Thanksgiving so all of the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals are going on – always fun to check out some of the neat deals online.

But since the end of Thanksgiving marks the beginning of the Christmas season, there are also some neat projects that others have been working on. Sure, it’s common to see WordPress themes, plugins, and other seasonal assets be released, but here’s a neat project that the guys over at Square One have been working on specifically for WordPress for Christmas.
