Details of Jenny's Talk

As any web developer will know, love it or hate it, we all need to debug at some point. Whether it be an error in HTML syntax or invalid database queries.

There are basic debugging rules and structures which can or do make all of our lives a little easier. This talk is aimed toward beginners, and intends to convey basic debugging skills utilising HTML, CSS, Javascript and PHP. Not only will the skill-sets be covered, but also the mindset required in understanding why developing debug-fu is a great asset in any development role.

As a fresh entrant into a development role, all too often you will hear the phrase “”just debug it””, without necessarily owning the knowledge to carry this out in most circumstances, or know why it’s even necessary.

When your role involves work with multiple languages and development environments, it can be very hard to know where to begin. The talk will be based on my own experience, from discovering and evaluating solutions within real life scenarios.

WordPress 10th Anniversary Party (with cake) – 27th May

Who likes cake? Who likes WordPress? Who wants to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of WordPress with cake?

My company, Code For The People, and Human Made (from over the hills in Derbyshire), and possibly some others from west of Manchester are putting on a WordPress 10th Anniversary party, with the one, the only, Mike Little, WordPress co-founder, at The Function Room, upstairs in Odder Bar on Oxford Rd, Manchester on Monday 27th May.

We’d love to see as many of the Manchester WordPress User Group members as can come, and other WordPress users of course, so please RSVP on the Meetup page here.

So far our plans involve food, drinks, cake… and we’re working on other activities (suggestions welcome).

Hopefully see you there!
