Last year I spoke at WordCamp Sofia and the videos are finally up on WordPress.tv. I spoke about templating in WordPress, about how and why the template hierarchy works, and covered some of the core functions like locate_template() and filters like template_include.
You can find the slides and reference links right here.
I gave this talk at WordCamp Norway 2013. It covers several tips and tricks that will make you a better theme developer.
You can follow the slides and the notes/transcript below. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to ping me here or on Twitter, I’m always happy to help :)
Here’s the video of my session about the Settings API in WordPress from WordCamp Sofia 2012. You can find the slides and notes/transcript in a post I published earlier: The WordPress Settings API.
If you’re interested in making the Settings API better and less painful to use, please chime in to the discussion on this core ticket: #18285. Have fun!
A co-worker and friend of mine Iliya Polihronov gave this talk earlier this year at WordCamp San Francisco 2012. He walked through an optimal server configuration for a high-performance WordPress environment, including nginx, php-fpm, APC and memcached. His notes are on SlideShare.

Videos from WordCamp San Francisco 2012 are being published to WordPress.tv. Time to watch those sessions you missed during the event, or watch the ones you enjoyed most :)

You can find the slides on SlideShare. Enjoy!
Great session from WordCamp Singapore by my friend and co-worker Philip Arthur Moore, who talks about essential things to WordPress theme development, including a set of awesome plugins that can help. You can find the slides on SlideShare.
This video made my day, was laughing like crazy! Hat tip to Philip for sharing. Some dudes are just not born to be brogrammers :)
