Description
Each of our sessions are digitally broadcast live and feature 3 separate presenters each focusing on a specific aspect of some WordPress topic. Each presenter will have roughly 30-40 minutes allotted for instruction and 15 minutes allotted for Q&A at the end. This means that, typically, the session will run three hours start-to-finish.
About This Session
Andrew Munro (@sumobi_), Daniel Espinoza (@d_espi), Glenn Ansley (@glennansley), and Justin Sainton (@JS_Zao) are here to teach us how to extend and develop alongside three of the most popular WordPress eCommerce platforms: Easy Digital Downloads, WooCommerce, and iThemes Exchange. In each presentation you’ll learn how to write your own add-on for the platform and how to leverage its documentation to tap into the many hooks and internal APIs provided.

About the Speakers
Andrew Munro
Andrew (aka Sumobi) is an eCommerce-loving support moderator, core developer and plugin developer for Easy Digital Downloads. Having built over 20 custom extensions for EDD, it’s fair to say he knows a thing or two about it. Andrew is currently collaborating with Pippin on AffiliateWP, which (naturally) integrates with EDD.
Daniel Espinoza
In 15 months Daniel went from zero plugins and no product income to 20 plugins and over $7K per month in sales. In the past year, Daniel leveraged these plugins to pay off all debts and eventually quit his job. He and his family are now nomads, travelling the world as “digital tentmakers”.
Glenn Ansley
Glenn creates plugins, bugs, and other random issues for the iThemes support team. He lives outside of Raleigh, NC with his wife and four kids. If he’s not programing or reading, he’s probably changing a diaper or fishing a toy out of someone’s nose.
