WordCamp San Diego 2012 – All The Knowledge!!
WordCamp San Diego took place this past weekend, and as usual it was a day of learning, community and fun! Tickets to this event sold out extremely quickly so many folks missed out. Below you will find links to all of the slides from the presenters so if you missed the event you can still glean some of the knowledge that was presented. There were 2 tracks – a more basic, less code-y one for End-Users, and a Developer track for hardcore coders. Find a WordCamp event near you

Hey Lucy,
This is a great service you provided by posting this information. I think you are doing a great job of demonstrating how to really add value to the community that relies upon you. I feel like you put relationships and value added before just getting business, and that is the right approach. Provide great services and the rest naturally follows instead of the other way around. You make me think how to do the same type of thing on my blogs. You are a leader in this area.
Hey Shaun – thanks so much for your kind comment! WordPress is all about community and that's one of the best things about WordCamps, is the community feeling, and the sharing that happens. So I definitely try and do my part…
