2012

WordCamp Sydney will be held from July 21-22. Into WordPress? Going? Wptuts+ editor Japh Thomson can answer “Yes!” to both of those questions.

What is a WordCamp? Japh describes it like this:

WordCamps are conferences focussed on WordPress. They’re organised by the community, often based around local WordPress meet ups, and cater to anyone who has an interest in WordPress. They usually have a schedule of presentations by speakers on WordPress-related topics, and often have expert panels, or hands-on sessions too.

Dad's Toolbox by Eric Bjerke

One of the best features of WordPress is the way it lets users check for, download, and install updates for plugins and themes from within the WordPress admin interface. Last year you may recall Jason announced the WordPress Theme Only Attachment and after more work we’re ready to roll out a way for authors to implement automatic updates for their themes in a standard way.

We now have a plugin for WordPress that will show you when a theme you’ve purchased from ThemeForest has an update available. You can then choose to automatically download and install the update. Even better than that though, the plugin will show you all the WordPress themes you’ve purchased on ThemeForest, and allow you to install them too!

We also have a PHP library for authors to include in their WordPress themes that will provide an easy way to implement this functionality within the themes themselves.

Last November our roving WordPress Evangelist (and now Wptuts+ editor) Japh Thomson spoke about code quality and best practices at WordCamp on Australia’s Gold Coast. He was brilliant. Japh told me himself.

Unfortunately due to a technical glitch the video of his talk was unavailable. Well, it was recently unglitched, and you can catch it on WordPress.tv, or embedded below. Enjoy!

The video goes for about 35 minutes, and is full of great insights. And a great view of that fancy laser-etched MacBook Pro of his. Great job, Japh.

The WPCandy Quarterly: WordPress in print. Have you subscribed yet?

With all the talk going on about ebook readers and emagazines etc, one could be forgiven for thinking that the catch cry “Print is dead” was slowly coming true. In the web community at least though, there seems to be a bit of a resurgence going on. Magazines are still alive, it seems they just serve different niches. The success of Elliot Jay Stocks’ print magazine ‘8 Faces‘ mainly targetted at typophiles, for example.

So why not a print magazine for WordPress fans? I’m very excited about The WPCandy Quarterly Magazine that Ryan Imel has in the works. The magazine has been accepting pre-orders for a while now, so I was quick to subscribe. The first issue is due to start arriving in letterboxes next month, and it will feature articles from some of our very own marketplace authors!
