Saturday – Designers Track
Awesome Up Your Theme!
Custom post types!
<?php post_class(); ?> similar to body class. Use in post types such as <article> <aside> etc.
<?php get_template_part(); ?> => <?php get_template_part(‘content’); ?>’
get_post_format_link( get_post_format() );
<figure> tags!
<figure class="gallery-thumb"> <?php echo $image_img_tag; ?> </figure>while ( $recent_image_posts->have_posts() ) : $recent_image_posts->the_post(); get_template_part( 'content', 'image' ); endwhile;
Remember, the_content() is still king.

WordCamp 2011 Keynotes – Friday
BuddyPress
Is now good! Only 5 open tickets with the release of the RC.
Web Fonts
TypeKit is great, if you can justify the subscription and use it allot.
TypeKit worked with Google to develop web font pre-loader using Java.
Scaling & Servers
Shared media server for uploads.
Drupal to WordPress – The Observer
Content re-use – Auto-complete for previously published content.
Improve cache ability to improve performance – W3 total cache, but caused problems over time; certain query kills server resources.
Check slow query log for issues.
The fix – Plugin called ‘Memcached Object Cache’! Still issue though, cache fills up until flush. Possible solution: allot more RAM to cache.
* Lunch at Tadich’s Grill. AMAZING. Go there immediately!
Otto and Nacin Show
Object cache: wp_cache_set();
Transients: get_transient();
Global cache groups: wp_cache_add_global_groups();
switch_to_blog – The devil? Be sure to cache around it!
Set global cache around global nav; for that issue.
Interesting fact: wp_sideload_image() – Pulls image from external URL into media library, not used by WP but is included in core.
Deep WordPress VooDoo
Ask Barry – Scaling and Etc.

What is the data?
Where is the data stored?
