I want to learn Wordprees from scratch. Is this the forum for me? If not any suggestions in San Diego? Thanks! David
This would be an excellent start, yes!
PS. WordPress Websites are my goal.
It would be great if the track could be recorded and posted online.
Hi Arthur, that’s the plan! We will be submitting this and most other tracks to WordPress TV.
In regards to the comment, “definitely have your laptop”, do you know if the venue will have an adequate number of power outlets and WiFi access?
Also, are there any items that should be downloaded in advance? (LAMP stack, WP install, etc.).
Thanks!
While we will not have internet throughout the venue, this particular track has dedicated internet since attendees will need to be online. We are working on power outlets and hope we can provide some of those too.
