Even with a formal education in and a decade writing commercial software, my first foray into working with the WordPress platform was..interesting. But I soldiered on, thanks to a helpful community, good books and a lot of intellectual elbow grease.
Three years later, when I started my company and made WordPress part of our service portfolio, it became clear to me that we really needed to combine the tremendous capabilities offered with some old school dev shop fundamentals to insure our customer solutions were of high quality and we were contributing back to the community.
In my presentation, I’ll discuss some of what we’ve learned and how we have integrated WordPress-related services with our “traditional” offerings. My hope is that I’ll share some things that will be worth considering even to WordPress veterans and help those who are considering rolling up their developer sleeves to learn from our experience.
