Course Description
There are a number of possible pitfalls when using JavaScript and WordPress together, such as conflicts with JavaScript files loaded by other plugins and the theme on a site, security when passing data between JavaScript and the WordPress database, and site performance. This course will show you how to help avoid these pitfalls and introduce you to the new WP REST API available starting in WordPress 4.4. You should have a WordPress site set up locally on your machine which you can do with a number of tools (VVV, MAMP, WAMP, etc).
