The sessions and workshops at WordCamp Mumbai were nothing short of enlightening. From in-depth explorations of the latest WordPress features to hands-on workshops delving into web development and design, there was a spectrum of topics catering to various levels of expertise. 

Bluehost’s engagement extended beyond the booth. The team also had the opportunity to deliver informative and enriching talks during the sessions.

Insights from Arun Shenoy, software engineer at Bluehost on mastering custom blocks in WordPress:

Customized blocks in WordPress Block Editor can enhance your website’s functionality, improve user experience, and give you the creative freedom to design content exactly as you envision it.

Arnav Chaudhary, Engineering Manager at Bluehost spoke on mastering the art of lightning-fast WordPress websites:

Mastering and understanding how to enhance page speed, optimize caching mechanisms, perform efficient database optimization, and regular maintenance is essential for benchmarking your website’s performance.

Amartya Gaur, Software Engineer at Bluehost, gave a comprehensive walk through on developing WordPress plugins with React and WP Rest:

WordPress plugin development with React JS and WP REST API enables developers to create dynamic and interactive plugins. By leveraging React for a modern user interface, integrating with WordPress via WP REST API for data exchange, and building powerful, customizable plugins, you can enhance user experiences.

Pooja Derashri from WPVibes, presented on making an impact through no-code contributions at WordPress:

WordPress is a remarkable open-source project, meticulously crafted by a thriving community. The beauty of contributing lies in its diverse avenues – from documentation and design to teaching and tending to bugs in Trac. It’s a world where you can make an impact without mastering code.

Akshaya Rane from WisdmLabs, talked about mastering project estimation rom idea to implementation:

Project estimation serves as the essential bridge between idea and execution. It involves both defining the project’s scope and budget in its initial phase and delving into the nitty-gritty details before work begins. It’s the roadmap to successful implementation.
