Check out Brandon’s slides from Monday night.
On Monday night at the Portland WordPress Dev Meetup I did a talk on how we scaled WordPress for Digital Trends. Click here if you’re interested in the feedback on the talk from the attendees. It ran a little longer than I intended but there was plenty of material to cover and it seemed to be well received. I promised to make the slides available after the talk so click on the link below to download the zip file.
In typical developer fashion, rather than using a presentation software solution I coded them in html using a nifty javascript library called “impress.js”. For those of you who are interested you can find their github page here. That being said the slides rely heavily on CSS3 transitions so you will need a very modern browser to view them – I recommend Google Chrome.
