SUMMARY:Starting a free WordPress.com blog
DESCRIPTION:Blogging is a fun\, creative way to express your thoughts on the web and become part of a larger online community. Thanks to today’s technology\, it’s easier than ever to start your own blog. You don’t need any coding experience or technical knowledge to get started — in fact\, you can get your own site up and running in a matter of minutes. \nA free blogging platform is the perfect way to get yourself set up with your own corner of the web without too much effort. Everyone’s focused on social media these days\, sure\, but there’s something about the permanence of a blog – not to mention the freedom to pen your thoughts without worrying about character counts – that’s hard to resist. \nYou can’t beat the feeling of having your own site\, and having a free blog can also be a great self-promotion tool to help get your work seen by more people. \nOn WordPress.com\, you can rapidly create an entirely free blog\, with a reasonable amount of customisation. \nWordPress.com is a blog hosting service offered by Automattic\, a company created by WordPress.org co-founder Matt Mullenweg. \nWordPress.com offers a basic blog hosting service for free. You can purchase additional options like a custom domain name\, additional storage\, and other premium services. \nStarted in 2005 with a goal to bring WordPress experience to a larger audience\, WordPress.com is a good blogging site for users who don’t want the advanced features of self-hosted WordPress at WordPress.org. \nNewcomers might find WordPress a touch bewildering initially\, but it’s the best free option for anyone wanting a great mix of power\, customisation and usability. \nDuring this meetup we shall have free Wi-Fi and everyone will leave with his or her own blog live! Dont miss!! \nRead more:https://wordpress.com/go/website-building/how-to-start-a-blog/ \nWordPress.com vs WordPress.org – Which is Better?

SUMMARY:CSS Tricks for WordPress Developers
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Tumusiime Martin \nWordPress enables you to create a functional and compelling website with no technical knowledge.

SUMMARY:Moving Towards the WordPress RESTful API
DESCRIPTION:Lead: Shafiq Lutaaya \nThe web has grown quite a bit over the last decade\, and WordPress has fallen behind ever so slightly. More applications are being brought to the web with JavaScript and more dynamic websites are being built with languages like Python and Ruby. \nWordPress core and even a few professional WordPress developers feel that WordPress’ heavy reliance on PHP and minimal use ofJavaScript has become far too outdated. This is something the WordPress REST API is meant to solve. \nThis doesn’t mean WordPress is moving away from PHP\, but it does mean developers should consider learning JavaScript if they want to take advantage of what this API has to offer.
