I\u2019m a designer, developer, plugin author, and core contributor. I use WordPress all of the time. Whether it\u2019s building client sites, my own projects, WordPress is always the right solution. <\/p>\n<p><strong>What will you be speaking about?<\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019m speaking on Responsive Design, a primer on it. We\u2019ll cover what it is, why it\u2019s important, how we got to this point, and how you can start using responsive design, even if you don\u2019t know CSS or anything.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who is your target audience? <\/strong><br \/>\nUsers, developers, designers. I think everyone can learn a little bit or a lot!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you hope the WordCampers will get out of your session?<\/strong><br \/>\nI really want everyone to start seriously thinking about how to embrace Responsive Design, it\u2019s something that is really moving the web forward.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your favorite WordPress Plugin?<\/strong><br \/>\nIf I don\u2019t count the ones I have in the repo, which I of course love, I would have to say Posts2Posts, because I\u2019ve used it a few times, and it is extremely powerful. It lets  you map relationships between post types and you can do a lot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you have a WP hero?<\/strong><br \/>\nJohn James Jacoby is probably one of my favorite Automatticians. He\u2019s taught me a lot, helped me out, and always has a great story to tell.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nPizza is a food group unto itself in Chicago\u2026 Where is your favorite place to get pizza?<\/strong><br \/>\nThis little pizza place in Dahlonega, Georgia called Gustavo\u2019s. It\u2019s awesome.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell your favorite WordCamp story!<\/strong><br \/>\nWorking with Mark Jaquith and John James Jacoby at WordCamp Grand Rapids. They helped me through core code and getting my first contribution into WordPress. It was awesome!!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact Info:<\/strong><br \/>\nBradParbs.com<br \/>\nTwitter.com\/BradParbs<br \/>\nBrad@BradParbs.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tell us a bit about yourself and how you use WordPress: I\u2019m Brad Parbs, internet rockstar.
