How Gutenberg will change the WordPress landscape

Did you know? WordPress is changing!

As we speak WordPress is going through one of the biggest technological revolutions in its existence. The editing screen is being replaced by a brand new JavaScript-based editor. The project to make this all happen is named Gutenberg, after Johannes Gutenberg; the inventor of the printing press. This tells you something about the ambitions behind this project.

In this talk I’ll give a demo of the new editor, explain what’s about to change and reflect on the opportunities and risks this entails. After this talk, you will have a better understanding of… – how the process of content creation in WordPress is going to change. – what could break if you have plugins installed which add functionality to the post edit screen. – the potential (business) opportunities related to the big changes that are coming.
