The WordPress 3.1 fuse is ablaze in Seattle and burning down to April 16th with an unprecedented intensity of interest for what is fast becoming the most explosive platform on the Web for user engagement, content and commerce creation, SEO visibility, and App-based, remote control, mobile dexterity. “B There” at Word Camp Seattle 2011 for the Biggest, Brightest, Boldest WordPress yet or miss the Biggest one-day gathering of Seattle WordPress talent and technical prowess under the Cloud!
In just one resource-packed day of top keynoters and keys to WordPress productivity, tasty WP design morsels and catered cuisine, mainstream WordPress advice and ways to make serious money on the platform, there is something for everyone at Seattle’s WordCamp 2011 who wants to get more done online.
This year, three different tracks will cover 1.) Developer-focused WordPress topics. 2.) WordPress design topics, and 3.) a general introduction to WordPress usage, including how to get started with WordPress, how to use it for business, and how to make money on WordPress.
This year’s summit meeting will feature conference keynoter Scott Berkun, a local Microsoft alum who has been drafted by WordPress parent Automattic as Team Social Lead, and Andrew Nacin, a core developer of the WordPress web publishing platform and a Tech Ninja at WordPress founder Matt Mullenweg’s research firm. A cadre of other stellar WP pundits will also be on hand.
According to co-organizer Calvin Freitas, this year’s confab is designed “for anybody who wants to create a website, who wants to blog, design for websites, run a business on the Internet, or make money with a WordPress site.” Not surprisingly, Seattle is emerging as a WordPress capitol. At monthly WordPress meetups which have quadrupled in size in recent months, the sessions are being led by local developers like Jason Schuler whose Seattle company, Press 75, makes leading-edge WordPress themes and resources.
Other featured developers who are pushing the envelope on WordPress design and publishing creativity include Alex King, Aziz Jacinto, Chris Molitor, Michael Field, Toby McKes and Will Anderson, plus WordPress coaches Bob Dunn, Justin Sainton, and for a refreshing change odf pace, female technologists and innovators Divya Manian and Healther Gold.
This pivotal season, when HTML 5 is becoming more widely adopted, WordPress 3.1 is at the precipice (remember Windows 3.1?). Unlike Flash and so many other standards, the WordPress platform boasts near universal compatibility on smartphones like iPhone and Android devices and new browsers including Chrome 10, Firefox 4, and Internet Explorer 9.
The Seattle WordCamp 2011 welcome message begins at 8:40 and keynote speaker Scott Berkun goes on at 9:00 a.m. Miss this year’s event and you’ve missed what could be the most pivotal WordPress gathering in this Internet capitol to date. Instead, we recommend you choose to capitalize on how WordPress can improve your return on investment in 2011. If a blog is your hub, WordCamp should be your our base camp for the year to come.
