Cory Webb is a full stack developer at Reaktiv Studios, a WordPress VIP partner, where he gets the privilege of building websites for some great companies and organizations. On an average day, he’s usually building a custom theme or plugin, or creating custom Gutenberg blocks.<\/p>\n

We are excited to welcome him once again to our WordCamp DFW family and to teach you how to “Create Custom Page Builders with Gutenberg and ACF Blocks,” in his session. <\/span><\/p>\n

DFW has a thriving WordPress community, I love being even a small part of it and having a chance to contribute to that community.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This year, Cory Webb is presenting on creating custom Gutenberg blocks with ACF Blocks because of his vast experience with ACF and building custom Gutenberg blocks, both from scratch and with ACF Blocks. The new ACF Blocks tool is a powerful PHP framework for creating custom block types.<\/p>\n

I felt like ACF Blocks would be a good stepping stone for people considering getting into custom Gutenberg block development, and this topic would help demonstrate the power of Gutenberg and what’s possible with the new WordPress editor.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you are interested in Gutenberg, whether as a user and\/or a developer, Cory Webb’s session should provide a good introduction to custom Gutenberg block development as well as demonstrate the power of Gutenberg.<\/p>\n

Since 2003, Cory Webb has spent most of his web development career building websites with Joomla but occasionally did projects with WordPress and followed its development over the years. Over the past 4-5 years, he started building more and more sites with WordPress, and for the past 2 years he has worked almost exclusively with WordPress.<\/p>\n

Cory Webb has spoken at 4 WordCamps and attended the 2 WordCamp US in Nashville, and in 2018, he helped reactivate the local WordPress Meetup group in Waco.<\/p>\n

\u00a0I’m excited to continue being a part of the WordPress community for many years to come. WordPress is a great platform for building websites and applications, and the WordPress community has been truly friendly and welcoming to this old Joomla guy.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cory Webb wrote a book for Wrox Press that was published in 2009 called “Beginning Joomla Website Development,” but he is very humble about it:<\/p>\n

It was not even close to being a best seller, but it was a great opportunity to share my knowledge and experience, and it was kind of cool to see a book that I wrote in stores like Barnes and Noble.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
