We have another great presentation for WordCamp Raleigh by Jacob Santos, WordPress contributor, Web Site Engineer, and Founder of Absidon Games.

Session:

“Awesome WordPress APIs How-To”

There are a few APIs that every plugin and theme developer should be using to simplify their code when working with WordPress. Learn about the HTTP API, the new Widget Class, and a few others that are new and useful.

Bio:

Jacob has been a WordPress core community programmer since September 2007 and worked on the WordPress inline documentation, HTTP API, plugin API, and various other bugs and optimizations.

In addition to working on the WordPress project itself, Jacob has worked with setting up WordPress at his current job for the past few years. He’s also the company “expert” since no other programmer wants to work on WordPress.

Jacob has also presented in the past for WordCamp Dallas.

Dan is the man that started Instinct Entertainment over 7 years ago, and since his school days wanted “to make games for a living”.

Dan’s company was the first to design a freely downloadable shopping cart plugin that allows users on the WordPress platform to sell their products via Paypal or Google Checkout. The WP e-Commerce Plugin has been downloaded over 445,000 times and has over 10,000 paid upgrades.

Dan recently started GetShopped.com which is built on the WordPress multi-user platform and allows users to get their store online in minutes.
