Welcome back!
Greetings from Jenn & Aaron at Linchpin. We're new to hosting meetups so please feel free to hit us up as we learn, we love constructive feedback!
As this is our first Meetup in quite a while we are excited to have people over at Linchpin HQ for some learning and discussion.
Meetups will be occurring consistently on the 2nd Tuesday of every month, starting in November.
We also want to hear from you:
• What topics are you interested in learning more about? Maybe it's something closely related that can inform or enhance your WordPress experience like Plugin development, Project Management, Javascript, CSS/SASS, Email Template creation, etc...
• What WordPress related topic are you passionate about...and would you like to present on it?
We will be posting more info as it becomes available. Thanks & We look forward to meeting you!

Do the RESTful APIs you have to work with drive you crazy? Are they awkward to use? Do you wish you could talk to the folks on the server side and knock some sense into them? This talk will look at the good and bad of REST API design from a client-side developer’s perspective. You’ll learn some patterns and practices that you can take back to your API developers to help them implement something that everyone will be happy to use. Andrew Goodale will be presenting.
The ancient and loyal order of user experience professionals gathers monthly to toast beautiful, efficient, practical, and awe-inspiring digital design. The UX meetup is a casual gathering to meet local designers, swap industry techniques and news, and celebrate the remarkable design talent in Providence. Grab a cocktail, sling a wireframe, and meet some new and awesome people.

In this session, "Engineering Positive Change", the enigmatic Jesse Friedman will cover...
"Using WordPress the best turnkey CMS doesn’t mean you should rely on boxed solutions. There are so many opportunities to innovate and build something special. Harnessing those great ideas, focusing your efforts at the right time, understanding the problem and how to solve it are challenges we all face before a real breakthrough occurs.
In this session you’ll learn:
- How to deconstruct and manage a problem
- The best ways to spark creativity
- Practical advice on managing a team of creative individuals
- The science behind motivation and inspiration
From there we’ll cover how to refine and polish an idea, prototype it, do user testing and more."
We are so looking forward to seeing you all at a new venue & bringing back one of our wonderful contributors! Thank You Jesse!
-Peace, Love & WordPress
