A Day of REST is a one-day conference all about the WordPress REST API. Speakers include members of the team building the REST API, and those using it in production websites. Attendees will have a chance to learn how to use the REST API in their own projects, with insights into best practices, tools, coding, and how other people are using it. A Day of REST Boston will be accompanied by two days of workshops that will teach frontend technologies to WordPress developers.
WORKSHOPS
A Day of REST will be accompanied by two days of frontend workshops, hosted by our friends at Bocoup. These workshops will be tailored to WordPress developers who want to hone their front-end skills in preparation for building REST API-powered applications. Details of the workshops, along with tickets, will be available when ticket sales open.
The WordPress REST API is the next generation of WordPress, opening the platform up in brand new ways. It will get officially merged into core in WordPress 4.4 on December 8th.
Companies like WIRED, The New York Times, Fusion, Bocoup, Human Made, Modern Tribe and many others already use the WordPress REST API to build applications that retrieve information from WordPress, without touching a line of PHP.
A Day of REST is an event dedicated to the WordPress REST API – 9 speakers from the REST API development team and some of the top companies that utilize the API will share their knowledge with you.
Find out about the possibilities of the WordPress REST API from the people making it, and from the people using it.
A Day of Rest isn’t a profit making event, our aim is to break even and to re-invest any profits giving back to the REST API project.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
A Day of REST is for developers of all kinds who want to make use of WordPress: PHP developers who want to learn about the future of WordPress, Javascript developers who want to use WordPress as a back-end without messing with PHP, and application developers who are considering using WordPress as a foundation for their latest app.
