Version control.
We all know we should be using it. A lot of us are. And some of us are a little intimidated.
Fact is, it’s not always quick or easy. And sometimes the workflow doesn’t flow.
Enter git flow.
At 10up we use git flow with services like Beanstalk and Bitbucket to auto-deploy commits to staging and production environments.
Sound like a mouthful?
If you’re new to version control, you’ll start to understand its power. And you’ll see – it’s not as hard as you might think!
If you’re a seasoned developer, you’ll see how using git flow can help on bigger projects that have multiple developers. And if you’re even thinking about getting into the enterprise, it’s crucial to show companies you’ve got a systematic and secure development processes.
What? It’s over already? We’ll have a few things to share with you at the end of the day and we’ll part ways…until next year!
We’re excited to announce that we are partnering with the Roy Clay Sr. Web Development and Entrepreneurship Workshop, a Hands Up United initiative, for our Hackathon during WordCamp St. Louis’ Community Day on March 15th.
Students learning HTML, CSS, and WordPress at T-REX
The 6-week workshop (named for North St. Louis County native and Silicon Valley entrepreneur Roy Clay) consists of teaching Ferguson/St. Louis youth HTML, CSS, JavaScript, UX, entrepreneurship, and small business management with the goal of participants learning the complete set of web development skills needed to help build sites for others in their community. Funds raised using the group’s GoFundMe campaign provide participants that complete the program with a $500 stipend and a personal laptop to continue using the skills they learned.
To develop these skills, participants have been meeting for 12 hours per week since early February doing everything from creating static HTML pages to creating wireframes using client requirements to customizing WordPress themes.
All of their hard work will culminate on March 15th when we have a full day scheduled for working with the participants, local small businesses, and community organizations they’ve been working with to finish and launch their WordPress sites. We’re hoping you’ll join us to help put some of the finishing touches on their sites as well as showing these young, new WordPressers that they are part of a huge community of volunteers worldwide.

The question most people ask me is how to be me. But that isn’t really what you want to know. Your power to give back to WordPress is unique, and I can help show you the way. Don’t be me. Be you.

Phew, we made it to the end of the first day of WordCamp St. Louis! We’d like to highlight a few superstars and remind folks of what the heck is happening on Sunday.
Then, on to the afterparty with a few pointers on travel/parking and where to go once you reach the City Museum.
