Pods – a CMS framework for advanced WordPress projects

This talk will introduce the Pods CMS Framework for WordPress, using as a case study the complete redevelopment i managed in the past few months of the website of the LSE Cities research centre (http://lsecities.net/) at the London School of Economics (http://lse.ac.uk/), migrating thousands of legacy pages and media items from a static site generator to WordPress, designing the new CMS to be able to respond to future needs of the research centre\’s publications, research and events activities. Depending on the status of the 2.0 development branch, i would introduce the main general concepts and show examples of code from my case study, then run an overview of the new features in Pods 2.0 and how these can be put to best use to create solid WordPress sites designed to be maintained over a long time span.
