BuddyPress and bbPress (the bb’s as I like to refer to them) share more than just a similar sounding name; they both include user profiles, and BuddyPress even includes group forums too. In this session, I’ll talk about why you would use which one, and how you can best build a community using them both.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t

\u201cCreating fresh content and promoting it through social media can be a full time job, and for most of us that\u2019s not an option. With proper workflow management we can take advantage of social media by making our WordPress sites more effortlessly ingest content and cross promote it.

\u201cResponsive web design is becoming a staple in both designer and developer toolboxes, but with great power comes great responsibility. My talk will discuss \u201cdesktop-first vs. mobile-first\u201d development and some of the caveats of responsive design. Code snippets and real-time examples will help drive points home. A little theory mixed with a lot of usable snippets makes this a great talk for both beginner and intermediate.
