The WP REST API creates enormous new opportunities for WordPress across the entire Internet. That means new business opportunities for WP developers and agencies.
Web Components are Custom HTML tags that we can create and are part of the browser specification. Being framework agnostic, we can create our own HTML tags to use in our WP pages, Gutenberg blocks or even create HTML/JS/CSS & plugins to deploy in external sites and thus use WP as a micro app/service in any site. This expands WP out from ⅓ into 100% internet.
This talk will be split between the technology and the business implications and uses.

He is based in Brighton and attends the local WordUp meetings. With a previous career in business and accounting, as well as having run his own non-IT business, Craig can speak both technical and business. He believes that technology serves the user, not the other way around, so the user experience is paramount.
HI have spoken at WP events and is interested in Web Components, Progressive Web Apps, WP REST API and have a developing interest in pages that are ‘instant’ and/or offline capable.
