Every year, WordCamp Miami has a Friday workshop focused on developers. In the past, workshops have been focused alot on BuddyPress<\/a> (and we’ve called these BuddyCamps). But this year we decided to provide a new experience for developers – a workshop that prepares developers for the future of WordPress. <\/p>\n

Why Focusing Now On “The Future of WordPress”?<\/h2>\n

There are many things coming in 2018 that effects the future of WordPress in various ways – including how WordPress works behind the scenes AND a major change to the WordPress editor and how the average user uses WordPress (Gutenberg). It’s important that developers are made aware, and prepare – especially if they have clients that use WordPress or they use WordPress to build their own themes and plugins for clients.<\/p>\n

What’s “Gutenberg”?<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\" Although other subjects will be covered in the workshop, Gutenberg is a primary focus. <\/p>\n

Gutenberg is a new publishing experience for WordPress that changes alot of how users will interact and add content into WordPress. It is perhaps the largest change to the WordPress experience in WordPress’s history. If you develop with WordPress, it is important that you learn about Gutenberg in 2018, especially if you build themes or plugins for WordPress.<\/p>\n

You can initially learn more about Gutenberg here<\/a>. You can also see a video of a live demo here:<\/p>\n
