\nSolomon Scott<\/a><\/b> is speaking on JavaScript <3 WordPress<\/a><\/b> at WordCamp Minneapolis.<\/div>\n

What inspired or motivated you to give this talk at WordCamp?<\/h2>\n

I wanted to to help people understand JavaScript and not be so scared of it. It’s a powerful language. I jumped in head first when I started learning it and haven’t looked back since. I also want to make sure others understand the importance of clean, readable code.<\/p>\n

How do you \u201ccreate intention\u201d in your job, career, or life?<\/h2>\n

I try to think about what makes me happy, and usually the answer is helping others, learning and experiencing new things. I strive to continue learning anything I’m interested in and then teaching it to others. I’m always reading a book or a blog on a language or new framework or just some new development idea\/technique. I also love going to new places and meeting people. I’ve actually set a goal for myself to go to a new place whether in or out of the states each year. (2017 is the year of Costa Rica)<\/p>\n

If you were a WordPress Plugin, what Plugin would you be and why?<\/h2>\n

I would probably be the WP Rest API plugin. Mostly because I use it often and I love how flexible and powerful it is.<\/p>\n

If you were not doing your current job, what profession would you be in and why?<\/h2>\n

I would either be a Movie Critic or a Marine Biologist. (I know very different fields)<\/p>\n

What professional and\/or research resource(s) can’t you live without?<\/h2>\n

I need scotch.io and webdesignerdepot.com. I also can’t live without Amazon to buy all the books I need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
