Thanks to George Sephanis for inviting me on the WPwatercooler show this week to discuss what else is worth learning deeply in 2016 besides JavaScript.
Of course, several of the folks on the show, including myself, are still focused on learning JavaScript in 2016,
However, a number of other good areas came up as well:
- Ways of Building with a API
- Learn Git, WP CLI, Workflow Tools
- Still Learn HTML, CSS and SASS
- Regular Expressions?!
- How to Customize Visual Composer
- Use Sketch to Build Mobile First, Responsive Sites
- Other ECMA languages like ActionScript?
- Learn Hosting More Deeply (ie how and why Pantheon approaches hosting the way they do, NGINX, Linux)
- Learn Local Development with DesktopServer, if you haven’t yet
- Bring Adaptive Content Delivery to WordPress
Thanks again for inviting me on the show, good times!
