This coming Monday, I’ll be delivering an encore presentation of WWCD? (What Would Core Do) at the monthly Boston WordPress Meetup. We’re also sponsoring the meet up – pizza is on 10up. If you’re in the Boston area, drop by and say hi!

Did you miss us at WordCamp Miami? Well, catch us at WordCamp Phoenix this weekend! In addition to being proud Angel Sponsors, you can catch Helen teaching WP401 (Advanced WordPress Development) on Friday, catch me (Jake) providing an overview of next generation web techniques first thing on Saturday, or hear my thoughts as part of the Agencies Panel on Saturday afternoon. See you in Arizona!
I had a blast guest co-hosting episode 3 of the WP Late Night podcast with WPCandy’s Ryan Imel and WebDevStudios’ Brad Williams. Hear my thoughts on default WordPress themes, BuddyPress growing up, whether the “widgets” concept is broken, how we build themes at 10up, and more. Or just enjoy the banter as Brad and I joke about friendly competition in the WordPress community.
Going to WordCamp Miami? Catch Jake and Jess! Jake will be debuting “What Would Core Do?” – a guide to building theme and plug-in administration that feels native – in the developer’s track. Meanwhile, Jess – a former Miami native and an organizer of WordCamp Miami 2010 – will offer insight into building communities around your online content. Hope we see you there!
