WordPress and hooks: understanding and using them

When I started developing for WordPress I was so excited about modifying and doing stuff with it. Along the way, I was reading tutorials and whenever I needed to do something that WordPress couldn’t do out of the box, I Googled it, found something, pasted it (on my functions.php file…nooo) and saw the magic (or not) happen.

As I progressed as a developer I came to a point, which was a turning point for me. The concept of hooks. This changed completely the way I saw WordPress and from there on, I now fully understand the concept, but it has also made change the way I develop.

In this workshop we are going to work with hooks: the different types of hooks that WordPress has, we are going to use some of the ones that WordPress has to offer and of course, create our own.
