Through some lucky scheduling, I was able to attend both LevelUp Con and WordCamp Saratoga in a single trip. I spoke at WordCamp about how to build a quick Backbone.js application which used WordPress as the backend (interfacing via the REST API). I thought my talk went OK, although I didn’t love it to be honest, and in hindsight I kind of wish I’d dived a bit harder into some better examples of how Backbone works with Views and whatnot. Here are the slides I used:

And if you’re interested in the code, it’s all available via Github. I got a few nice bits of feedback as well, so that was good:

@beaulebens don't tell anyone, your talk @wctoga was my favorite, backbone / WP was what I needed & the react sideline, priceless #wctoga

Yes I've used a bunch of languages and framework but can always learn more, especially from @beaulebens #wctoga
