 Hello. Hi. Thank you for coming. So this is our first workshop organized by PHP Women Asia. So thank you for coming. So our first workshop is called Build a Website for WordPress. So why would we choose WordPress? Because I think it's the easiest platform to build a website. So we have here the organizer of WordPress Singapore. So it's John. Yeah. So his members will also be doing coaching and helping us later. So yeah. So PHP Women Asia. So we just started this year. So these are the few women that are like PHP developers. And we organize our event. And then we come up to teach beginners or interested people who are who I wanted to learn PHP. So yeah. So this is from the different events like the PHP conference, the WordPress conference, and yeah. Word come. Sorry. And yeah. So the objectives of our group is like focus the needs of individual PHP women on a personal or professional level, peer-to-peer learning exchange, and provides comfortable environment for women who are interested to learn to code in PHP. So like this workshop is already one of our objectives. So one of our engagements are our Facebook group page. I think you, some of you have liked it. And social meetups like co-PJS, Bearded CSS, Gitbrunch, and other Git meetups that we have. So and Slack. We also have Slack for all of the PHP developers in Asia. And then PHP Singapore user group, which is our main group who are who we met like every month to like to do speaking. And yeah. So every month from now on every month there will be like a representative from PHP women Asia to showcase our events. So we just started like two months ago. Yeah. So our like mother or global network is the PHP women. It's like from the Europe and and the US. So we met some of them in the PHP conference because they were invited to speak. So these are just some of the people from the PHP women global network. Okay. So yeah, I think this will be our agenda for today. So phase one or this morning we'll create a basic website using WordPress. So install WordPress and just add plugins, widgets and later we'll discuss more about it. And then so Vina will be the one. So Vina, where are you? So here with the one who is our instructor later. So she's been very good in WordPress. She's been developing WordPress for like five over five years now and now she's been learning Django. Django is like Python and Swift. It's like for the iPhone apps. Yeah. And for the phase two is like if you want to join us later for the phase two to how to like build an e-commerce website using WordPress, then that will be on our agenda this afternoon. So our instructor is Brita. So here's Brita. So yeah, she works in NUS and yeah, she's been like a PHP programmer as well. And she's one of the speaker in the last PHP conference Asia. So yeah, and our coaches is from WordPress Singapore and PHP Singapore user group. Yeah, so that's it. And special thanks to Microsoft people for sponsoring our venue and later they will sponsor also the pizza for lunch. Yeah, that's great. And also for the drinks, if you want to have coffee on the middle of the workshop, then you can have, you can get your coffee or drinks somewhere, like just turn, yeah, just turn left and you can see the pantry over there. And okay, for our first speaker, so I'll talk. Okay. Yeah, sure. Yeah. So he'll be speaking first like 15 minutes. Yeah. So he don't want to be introduced. So yeah, he does himself. Okay. Let's give a round of applause for Gerald. Oh, this is not you. Sorry. Wrong info. Okay. Okay. Sorry. So Gerald is not here, but James. That is why I don't know. I don't get it. So sorry. Yeah. Okay. James. Oh, hi. Just get a quick introduction on myself. I'm James. But I'm a technical evangelist in the developer experience team here at Microsoft Singapore, along with Fami, my colleague. He organized the event today. And I'm just here to give you a quick talk about Azure. So just hands up. Is anybody heard of Azure? You guys heard of it, right? So today you guys will be coding PHP, WordPress, HTML, et cetera. And you'll be doing and deploying that on a local host machine, right? So local hosts is typically what we use when we are testing and doing development. But when you actually really want to get it out to production to your users, you will have to set up a server and deploy it like that, right? I mean, in the old days, what we did was to set up a physical server on-premise, right? But now of the introduction of cloud, we have services like Amazon, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and we have all these different services which allow you to leverage and quickly deploy a website without any hassle, right? So I'll just show you. This is the Azure dashboard. It shows you all your projects and resources, right? So we give many options for people who want to deploy WordPress websites, right? So it's really easy. Just go to the marketplace and you can search WordPress, right? And you can see that we will have a few options for WordPress. The first one is more of a platform solution where you can easily deploy really fast. And the second one is one of our partners, Biennami. So this is more of an infrastructure as a service. So what you get is a full OS and virtual machine stack, right? So you'll be able to customize lower levels of the software. So like the operating system like Linux or Windows, whatever server they choose to deploy on. But most people are fine with using the platform as a service because it's easy and fast to set up, right? So from there, all you need to do is to create a resource and there will be multiple things to fill out, right? You can enter the name for your website and a subscription, right? So we actually do offer free trials when you first start out. So it's definitely easy for you to try. And once you choose the subscription that you're subscribed to, you can choose a resource group. So one of the benefits of hosting on Azure is it can group all your resources into one, right? And that means that it's very easy to manage everything. You can select a database provider. So for now on the WordPress solution, you can use ClearDB or MySQL. They're both MySQL, but one of them is still in preview and it's hosted in a host like us. And lastly, you can do App Service Plan. So what is App Service Plan means, right? Is that instead of just using our subscription to pay for WordPress, you can group many different applications and services within the same service plan. So effectively, you're just consolidating all the costs into one plan, right? And then you can add insights, which will give you analysis. Now, I won't create it directly here because it actually takes a bit of time to speed up, but I've already done this, right? So this is using the same panel that I showed just now and I created this. Then from there directly, I can go to browse, right? And I can go and I have my very own custom URL. So if you quote a WordPress website and you deploy it out to people, you can see that, yeah, give it a lot of load. So you can see 10.org WordPress.azureworkpress.net because I created this yesterday and I just used it instead. So you can see there's all the languages that you can choose. And this is rare familiar if anybody has done the official WordPress.com site. You can just instantly set up everything you need from here. So let's say I just call it test. So just from there, it's really simple. And all you need to do is just go in and log in with the username and password that you had just now, right? And right from there, you're already in your dashboard. It's fast and easy. It's not like the old times where you need to do all the hard work and manual labor when you have to set up a server, right? And from all there, you can enter your posts and everything. Yeah, so I just want to give a quick introduction on what you can do in the future after you've learned coding on localhosts. You can actually deploy it to a real production scenario. Yep, thank you.
