This year, we have a special track of sessions dedicated to Gutenberg, the new editing experience! This project is the next step in editing content in WordPress, and is set to be released in WordPress 5.0. Head to some of these sessions to learn more about what this means for you.
First up, get introduced to Gutenberg by Tammie Lister, our keynote speaker, in The Gutenberg Journey, at 9am in the main ballroom.
These “gutentrack” sessions will all be in the Auditorium (link to map) after lunch, starting at 1:30.
- Blobs, Chunks, and Blocks: Structured Content in the Age of Gutenberg, John Eckman
- The Basics of building a Gutenberg Block, Amanda Giles
- How We Made Our First Gutenberg-Powered Theme, Allan Cole, Kjell Reigstad
- Adapting to Gutenberg: How The Events Calendar is Embracing the Block Editor, Zach Tirrell
- (Slightly) Advanced Topics In Block Development, Josh Pollock
There are also a few other Guten-talks – on Saturday morning in the Intro To WordPress track, Gary Thayer will help you Say “Guten Tag” to Gutenberg. Then on Sunday, you can learn about how to prepare your sites for Gutenberg, even if you’re running a network of university sites, from Brian DeConinck & Jennifer McFarland in GutenReady for the Gutenpocalypse.
