\"sebastien\"Co-founder of Impeka, software engineering graduate, and website development fanatic; Seb was born for the Information Age. Composed of 20% engineer and 80% cowboy, he is a true Code Slinger. When it comes to high noon in the Wild Wild Web, you want him and his spurs on your side.<\/p>\n

S\u00e9bastien\u00a0will be giving a talk entitled “Widgets Within Widgets. A Widgetception Story<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

What’s been your best experience with WordPress?<\/h2>\n

Any time you can use WordPress as a jump off point to solve a business problem. I get a serious buzz from people saying that they’ll save a ton of time using my tools.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tell us a bit about your WordCamp Ottawa talk.<\/h2>\n

The talk will go over how many sites, as they age, suffer from sidebar-itis and how WordPress doesn’t offer a way to place widgets on a page by page basis. Developers who have had to deal with legacy websites with a ton of content could benefit from this solution. Attendees should be comfortable in PHP and should have some knowledge on WordPress plugin development.<\/span><\/p>\n

What’s your favourite thing about attending WordCamps?<\/h2>\n

Seeing different angles taken on common problems. How other developers in the community deal with problems is interesting.<\/span><\/p>\n

What’s exciting you about WordPress in 2016?<\/h2>\n

This would be the first time I ever give a talk on any subject (if you ignore elementary\/secondary school oral presentation haha!)<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Recommend one to three people in the WordPress world to follow on social media!<\/h2>\n

Not necessarily individuals but \/r\/webdev and \/r\/prowordpress should be part of anyone’s arsenal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
