October 29th — Steph Wells — How to get started writing themes and plugins

How to quickly set up your own local environment and get started in the world of web development and writing WordPress plugins. If you see a need for a plugin, filling it could lead anywhere. Anyone can do it, no previous education required.

Bio

Steph Wells is the lead developer of Strategy11 – a company specializing in WordPress plugins. Formidable forms and Display Widgets are a few of their most popular projects. She started her career as a Registered Nurse, and later self-taught herself Ruby on Rails and PHP after the first little bundle-of-joy came along in 2007. In less than four years, the Wells team graduated from client work with a self-sustaining plugin of their own.
