Dev Branch

Weekly Developer Discussion About WordPress.

For the last 10+ years Jason, Sé and Cosper bring together people from the community to discuss WordPress and how it is changing our hobbies, businesses and our lives. Each week we bring together people from the community to discuss the developer side of WordPress and how it is changing our businesses and our lives.

This is built as a light-hearted edutainment show where education is an accidental byproduct. You’ll learn something in between the silly banter of these decade old friends sharing their wisdom on the internet for free.

First Friday of the month at 11:00 am Pacific
