E4- An Introduction to The Business Journal

Life is busy. It’s a constant stream of tasks, that can often pile up and become overwhelming. Now there are a plethora of task management systems and methodologies, from GTD (Get Things Done), Pomodoros, MindMapping, Kanban Boards, Google Calendar, traditional ToDo Lists, this list is never ending. Each method has varying levels of complexity and time commitment. I’ve tried most methods, and with each, there was always something that felt a bit off. I found I would dread morning planning sessions, tasks would accumulate faster than I could complete them and I was constantly looking for the best app to fit the methodology. I’ve tried OmniFocus, Wunderlist, Any.do, OneNote, Evernote Trello, the default iOS todo list app, and so many others… My management system often hindered me rather than making me more efficient.

E3- Simplifying the Development of your Blog

E3- Simplifying the Development of your Blog I've been an app developer for a long time but I've never used Wordpress for anything professional. In my mind, Wordpress runs on old technology and I didn't want to get anywhere near it. But all that's changed! I'll be talking about [1] some background on what Wordpress is, [2] building your own CMS while running your own business, [3] and how to transition your website over to Wordpress, while maintaining your own design, and function! If you've ever played around with the Wordpress API, follow me on twitter @WesAdvance and share with me some of your thoughts! Is it here to stay? Will themes start to rely on it more? Where do React and other javascript frameworks sit in this ecosystem?
