WordPress is coming of age as an application platform. Plugins like WP-API 2.0 and the JSON REST API have arrived, opening up new opportunities for how websites and applications are constructed with WordPress as a CMS. More and more developers are discovering the benefits of \u201cdecoupled\u201d development for websites and applications, where the front-end client (website, native mobile, desktop) is built as a separate system from the CMS itself.<\/p>\n
This method of development has many applications:
\n– Coordinate front and back-end development in parallel via \u201cthe API Contract\u201d.
\n– Use lean\/elegant markup and best-of-breed front end development tools.
\n– Build rich interactive experiences leveraging modern JS frameworks like AngularJS or React.
\n– Support native mobile applications, the \u201cinternet of things\u201d, and other web services.
\n– Provide content for applications in museum\/gallery installations.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re a developer who has been looking to try out some of these use-cases, or follow some of these new practices, there\u2019s no better time than now to get started. This presentation will:
\n– Introduce you to decoupled development
\n– Showcase examples where WordPress serves as the CMS for websites, native iOS\/Android applications, and museum touchscreens
\n– Walk through a simple example of creating a decoupled WordPress CMS that provides JSON to a variety of front-end applications<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
