Our friends at VIP Featured Partner Human Made would like to invite you to join them for A Day of REST Boston, a one-day conference about the REST API, alongside two days of in-depth workshops (March 8th and 10th).
The REST API became an integral part of WordPress with the release of version 4.7, and there are already organizations as diverse as the New York Times, the Guggenheim Museum, npm, and Wired using it in production.
Of course, it won’t always be immediately obvious when a site or app is making use of the REST API: events like this offer a rare opportunity to peer behind the scenes, to find out who is doing what, and how.
At A Day of REST, you will be able to:
- learn from the REST API development team
- discover how professional developers are using the API in production sites
- learn best practices for creating custom APIs in WordPress
- find out how to use different front-end technologies with WordPress
- learn in workshops by professional trainers such as Wes Bos and Zac Gordon
- meet and network with like-minded professionals who are using the API for their projects
The speaker lineup features a number of familiar names to the VIP community: Joe Hoyle and Petya Raykovska from Human Made, John Eckman and Adam Silverstein from 10up, plus Automattic’s Mel Choyce and Kelly Dwan.
We have a discount code for VIP clients that gives you 20% off conference tickets – VIPLovesWPAPI. You can learn more about A Day of REST and grab tickets at adayofrest.hm.
If you’d like to send a team of your developers you can contact Human Made directly about creating a group booking for the conference and workshops.
It’s an exciting time, and we’re looking forward to what the future holds as WordPress moves deeper into the application-driven, connected world. We hope you’ll take advantage of this great opportunity for your developers to build the skills they need to take advantage of this powerful new feature.
