  • Introduction to Automated End-to-End Testing Using Cypress

    Every year we’re asked to “do more with less” while budgets continue to shrink. As a development team, how do we continue to manage all our responsibilities while taking on even more? Automation.

    While developers understand how helpful automated testing can be, getting started can be overwhelming. Finding time to learn and research, as well as designing tests tailored to specific needs, can be daunting. As a result, automated testing is often pushed to the back burner and forgotten due to various constraints.

    In this workshop, attendees will gain insight into the benefits of end-to-end testing. This involves testing an application from start to finish, simulating a real user scenario, and testing the application as an integrated whole. Using the Cypress testing framework, we will go hands-on in the setup of the testing framework, and the process of integrating it into our workflows, before writing our first test together. Attendees will leave with a set of tests they can immediately put into practice, and a solid idea of how they can expand those tests to fit their unique needs.

  • From Canada to the World: 10 Lessons From Working With 50 Countries

    What happens when you have a local WordPress workshop in Vancouver and scale it to the whole global WordPress community? The human factor. It turns out scaling to a much larger community has a lot more to do with people than it does with systems. 

    In this candid and personal talk, Jill shares the stories of 10 lessons learned over 5 years while facilitating WordPress public speaking workshops for 50 countries.

    These aren’t lessons from textbooks. They’re hard-earned insights gained from real-world experience and real interactions. Mixing humour and gravity, Jill tells about the triumphs and missteps of being a polite Canadian navigating culture, identity, language, and emotion on the global stage alongside real people with real challenges and very real hearts.

    You’ll leave with practical insights and surprising truths about collaborating thoughtfully across cultures and handling the unexpected in any community. Learn about popcorn words, poster conundrums, and how to say “Sorry, eh” in a global way.

  • Serverless WordPress Demystified: Scale, Savings & Modern Workflows

    Some of us love managing servers. For most WordPress developers, though, they’re a necessary evil we’d rather offload. We pay for hosting to avoid the hassle, but that doesn’t magically fix everything. You’re still worrying about whether your site can handle a traffic spike and often overpaying ‘just in case.’

    Well, that’s what serverless WordPress aims to fix. With a serverless approach, you genuinely pay only for what you use. Meanwhile, you get an infrastructure that can go from zero traffic to handling thousands of visitors in seconds.

    This talk will go over serverless WordPress and how it works. You’ll learn how it differs from regular WordPress hosting with a traditional server setup and why it’s a game-changer for demanding sites like WooCommerce and how it can transform your development workflows.

    We’ll finish by sharing stories from the trenches about conquering massive traffic and cutting costs. We’ll also go over tools and projects you can use to deploy your serverless WordPress site.
