WordPress REST API is here for some time now, but we still have to demystify it and learn the real power behind it. What’s all the fuss behind WP REST API and why can this technology transform the WordPress itself? Let’s find out in this talk from Tomislav Leljak.
Can you tell us more about yourself, who you are, what do you do for a living?
I’ve been a web developer for like 16 years now, though there are parts in my career when development was not my main focus. Currently I’m holding COO position in AM2 Studio. Workflow improvement is my passion. I like spending my free time in nature with animals and I’m in continuous search how to get rich fast.
What’s you WordPress connection, how you started?
I tried WordPress years ago, but I didn’t like it, so I programmed my own CMS that was superior to it, still I was keeping an eye on WordPress to see how will it mature as It looked that It has a potential to become what it is now. Three years ago, slowly I started with setting up websites using premium themes to transfer my focus in building themes (and plugins) from scratch. Now (that) I enjoy working on WordPress and to create beautiful products I don’t see anytime soon switching to anything else.
The Talk
You will talk about WordPress REST API. Although it’s still new, we have some good examples out there, of what can we do, or even better – build, with it. Where will you focus your talk?
I will talk about “Using WP REST API” with real life example how to connect mobile application to WordPress and get the best of both worlds. With WP REST API WordPress became fully-featured application platform and it opened itself up to every other application and development environment on Earth.
