WordCamps, Summits, and Coding, Oh My!

I’m hitting the final stretch of my speaking tour, with just 3 (maybe 4?)  WordPress events left for the summer before taking July off. I’m also giving a  TEDx talk in Scranton in August, but more information to come on that later. I won’t be off the grid though, as I have lots of great stuff planned in the Downtown Scranton area! More details and my speaking schedule after the jump.

First, I want to mention something I’m very excited about because I know it will make me (and hopefully others) focus more on side projects and getting back into some good, old fashioned coding! Starting June 18th and going every Wednesday through August, a friend and I are hosting weekly coding sessions in Downtown Scranton from 6-9pm. We are piggy-backing off of the NEPA Hackathon I wrote about last month and are hoping to cultivate some great projects and network! The location is the new Entrepreneurial Launchpad. You can read more about them and see a full schedule at the NEPA Hackathon website.

I am also holding a couple of WordPress classes  in that same location in July. While the details of those are still forthcoming (keep an eye out next week), one will be an Intro to WordPress for people who use WordPress and one will be a coding course for those who want to develop for WordPress. There might even be a new website in the works for it!

Finally, below are my upcoming speaking events. If you’re in Philly or Chicago, I hope to see you at the WordCamps! If you can’t make it, I’m giving a similar talk at WPSummit, an online conference. Even better, you can get a 10% discount for using the code JOSEPHTEN at checkout!
