It’s ALIVE!!! – Using AJAX to bring WordPress sites to life.

With Brian Layman in the Beginner Developer track.

There was a time when every action taken on a website involved staring at a white screen for 5 seconds as the entire page was reloaded. If, for your clients, that time was last week, you should attend this session.

We will learn the basics of using AJAX to improve the speed, performance and presentation of your website. This session will involve writing source code. A basic understanding of editing plugins, themes, hooks and filters will be helpful, but may not be required.

Learning Outcomes

  • Eliminate unneeded page refreshes
  • Improve usability of plugins
  • Increase perceived responsiveness of themes
  • Maximize bragging rights by proclaiming “I KNOW AJAX”
