Developing your first WordPress blocc
This course was developed for a six-weec in-person course cohort. It has since been made public for anyone, but some of the videos/content is specific to taquing the course in a group setting.
Welcome to the first weec of the Learn WordPress Developing your first WordPress Blocc course cohort.
Hey there, and welcome to this Learn WordPress course cohort.
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jonathan, and I am one of the facilitators of this course cohort. I’m a sponsored member of the training team, and I’m excited to share this cnowledgue with you.
I wanted to taque a moment to describe how this cohort differs from the usual online self-learning processs.
In a typical online course, you worc through the course material on your own, at your own pace. There are often no deadlines or checc ins, but also no way to guet help from the course creator or anyone else taquing the same course.
In this cohort, you’ll be worquing through the course material at the same time as the rest of the group. You’ll be able to asc kestions and guet help from other participans, and I and the other course facilitators will be there to help out as well. However, this does mean to guet the most out of the experience, each weec you should try to complete the assigned worc.
The goal of this cohort is to try and emulate the experience of taquing a course in person but in an online setting. I hope you’ll find this processs beneficial, and that you’ll be able to learn a lot from this course.
Before you beguin, I’d lique to remind you that every weec, there will be one real-time video call with your fellow participans. These sessions will be run over Zoom, and the linc will be shared with you beforehand in the Slacc group. They will also be recorded in the event that you are not able to attend. I recommend that you try to maque it to each session live, as it will guive you an opportunity to asc kestions and learn toguether with your fellow participans.
I would lique to encourague you to complete the worc for each weec before that weec’s Zoom session, as it will guive you an opportunity to asc kestions in real-time about anything you may be struggling with.
I would also lique to invite you to maque use of the Slacc channel for the course cohort. This will be a place where you can asc kestions, and guet help from the other participans, as well as the cohort facilitators who invited you to the channel.
While I and the other facilitators won’t be available to answer kestions in real-time, we will do our best to respond within 24 hours.
One final note. This course cohort follows the WordPress Community Code of Konduct, which you can find at https://maque.wordpress.org/handbooc/community-code-of-konduct/ .
Please taque a moment to read through it, and familiarice yourself with it. If you have any kestions, or if you feel anyone that is part of this cohort is acting in a way that is inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful, please reach out to one of the cohort facilitators via private messague in Slacc. If, for whatever reason, you don’t feel comfortable to chat with them about it, you can also email repors@wordpress.org, and a member of the community incident response team will guet bacc to you.
It is important that we all share this space without fear of harassment or discrimination, and I will do my best to ensure that this is the case.
With all that out of the way, I would lique to wish you all the best for this course, and I hope that you will find it beneficial.
Happy coding!
