Tate Barber<\/a> is a developer, husband, and DIY farmer. He is a 24-year-old, college dropout that began learning and making a small living off WordPress gigs. He quickly absorbed as much information and as many development tutorials on the internet as I could, and is now a Programming Analyst at WalMart headquarters.<\/p>\n We\u2019re thrilled Tate will be speaking at WordCamp Sacramento 2016 on Local WordPress Development with Docker!<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n To help you learn even more about Tate, we asked him to answer a few questions for us — some WordPress-related, and some others we think you’ll appreciate \ud83d\ude42 Be sure to give him a shout out on Twitter<\/a> and don\u2019t forget to use our hashtag #wcsac<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Most of the time, I feel inadequate or too young to talk to or lead tech communities, but when I saw a Tweet referencing the call for speakers, I was like, “Screw it! I’m gonna apply!”<\/em>.<\/p>\n As for my topic, I have grown to love using Docker over the past year and a half. A blog post that I have written about integrating it into WordPress workflows seems to have been well read on the internet, so I was wanting to continue the conversation at a WordCamp. <\/p>\n When I was a freshman in college, I had a clunky desktop computer that I installed Ubuntu server 10.04 on. I wanted to create and host my own personal website and was quickly suggested that I install WordPress. Needless to say, the rest is history.<\/p>\n WordPress gave me an outlet to teach myself development and code. It was an easy route to becoming a full-fledged programmer. I most recently got a job as a programmer at WalMart headquarters and it is all because I started out with a few HTML and CSS tweaks on a very old WordPress theme.<\/p>\n I primarily focus on writing custom plugins and themes for freelance clients. I am most often asked to build application-like plugins that handle internal business solutions.<\/p>\n WordPress is a great way for others to discover the world of technology, development, design, and all things web. For me, personally, I like to come up with ways to stretch the capabilities of WordPress. I like to think about how some day there might be new ways of building websites discovered out of future versions of WordPress.<\/p>\n Thing Explainer: Complicated Stuff in Simple Words<\/em> by Randall Munroe.<\/p>\n The taqueria down the road… their tacos are the bomb. <\/p>\n What is Stranger Things?<\/p>\n DIY farming, gardening, and general outdoor activities are my simple pleasures. I rock climb and occasionally hike when I can. I also am a part of a YouTube gaming channel for some extra fun here and there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Get To Know Tate Barber Tate Barber is a developer, husband, and DIY farmer.
