Twig templating and why it’s addictive

WordPress is built on PHP, and this has its many benefits but also many downfalls. One of them being that PHP was never meant to be a templating language. Introducing Twig & Timber! Twig a flexible, fast, and secure template language for PHP. Timber brings both WordPress and Twig together, providing the perfect combination and functionality and flexibility. I will not do a WordPress project without them!

In this workshop, I will walk the attendees through some basic Twig/Timber templating using a real theme. I aim to showcase some of the great benefits of using Twig/Timber and how they still maintain what we love about WordPress.

I work through the templating with the audience providing a demo theme, and also share kickstarter themes/documentation so they can continue working beyond the workshop.

Disclaimer: Twig/Timber can be addictive!
