I’m really excited and super proud to be a part of the inaugural WordCamp Malaysia! I’ll be presenting at least 1 session. The event will be held on Saturday, 22 May and other details are being finalised at the moment. You can check out http://wordcamp.my for updates.
Due to the delayed release of WP3.0 I won’t be giving my original topic. I’ll be talking about theme frameworks instead. What’s your favourite theme framework and why?
I would like to get your feedback for the topic that I’m presenting. Here’s the outline:
Theme Frameworks: a glimpse into the future of WordPress themes
- What are theme frameworks & what’s so great about them?
- How to create a better blog with theme frameworks
- WP as a CMS, even better with Headway
- How designers & developers can shortcut theming with theme frameworks

Let me know what you like or don’t like, or even what I should include in my talk. Keep in mind I only have 30 minutes. Thanks, and see you at WordCamp!
Congrats and all the best for the event!
Awesome man. One thing I’d want to learn is how to convert a PSD design to a WordPress theme. Actually a lot about WP can be learnt thru tutorials and resources online, so maybe something practical would be useful.
Ya I think that would be something really cool teach too, but would require more time than allocated. To convert a PSD into a theme you need to know HTML, CSS, PHP and maybe even JavaScript. Definitely more than just ‘hacking’..
preety interesting topic. will see you guys soon @ wordcamp. ๐
