Computer Science is a big part of web development and WordPress whether you know it or not! This talk will explain what Computer Science actually entails. You will see WordPress through the lens of someone with a Computer Science degree. We will talk about ways to describe code performance using Big-Oh notation comparing different post meta and taxonomy queries. We will also discuss concurrency as it applies to WordPress, specifically data races and how they can occur while counting post views.<\/p>\n
This Talk Is For:<\/strong>\u00a0Advanced Developers<\/p>\n What The Audience Will Learn:<\/strong>\u00a0I work with WordPress all day every day. I also have a BS in Computer Science. I\u2019ve noticed most WP developers don\u2019t have computer related degrees. This talk will educate listeners on useful things in Computer Science that can make them better web developers: big O notation (performance measurements), search algorithms, data races, etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Computer Science is a big part of web development and WordPress whether you know it or not!
