This is your second time at WordCamp Prague as a speaker. How was is the last year and did you enjoy it?
At the event, during my talk the room was full but everyone was so quiet, for me, that came from South America big crowds are not so quiet. I was curious if they were liking or not. After my talk, I had good questions and had the chance to talk with other devs that we still talk since the first WordCamp, the event in general since the reception until the after-party I had a good experience, everyone that I had talked was so nice and I had good chats. Those are the points that make me include WordCamp Prague in „the WordCamp must go list“
You will run a workshop this year, what is it about?
In 2019, I’ve created a workshop just focused on AMP, I’ve run the workshop in 10 different cities and I like the possibility that in two hours, we could create an application with different features as WordPress. AMP is an inclusive technology that reduces the complexity over the development and increases the speed to create a web application. Then after this first round, I decided to adapt the workshop to the WordPress ecosystem as well.
For this workshop, we will understand the reasons why AMP is an interesting option to create a web application and how we can use it with a few practical examples.
What have you learned in your first WordCamp Prague?
WordCamp Prague had an important role for 2019. It was my first event as a speaker in 2019 and it really motivated me to get involved with the WordPress community. After that, I had a really busy year: I went to nine WordCamps, including Europe and Dublin as an organizer.
About WordCamp Prague, exactly, I learned that there is a huge community, that they look tough, but they are super cool. It was good to learn that in different countries the audience reacts in a different way. And I have got good feedbacks that were important for the rest of the year.
You have visited several WordCamps all around the world. How about the one in Prague? When you compare it to other conferences, how many points from 1 to 10 would it get?
It’s a hard question I would say Prague was on my top three local WordCamps in 2019. For me, Prague is one of the city candidates to host WordCamp Europe in the future. If you want to know the points, come to talk with me in 2020.
What is the best memory you have from visiting Prague last year?
The city in general, I love the architecture and just walking around is a great experience. At the event, my favourite moment is when I finish a talk and people come with questions. Another fun memory when I was „DJing“ at the end of the after-party, just a few people at the club and we were chatting and selecting random music. My tip for 2020: Don’t miss it. I think in a WordCamp one of the best moments to learn something is during the after-party – my best chats about social, technical or random things are always at the after-party.
Have you tried some typical food/drink in the Czech Republic? How was it?
It was hard to have something local in Prague because it is a such an international city, but my favourite food was vepřo-knedlo-zelo, but my favourite so far is Czech Beer.
