Using the most popular freelancer methodology ( First come, first served ) I got a project ( keep in mind that this was 10 years ago ) about adjusting the search functionality of a website, so it will show the products in the search result page. So because of that gig, I become familiar with WordPress and since then I&#8217;m working with it on daily basis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Why did you choose this topic for your presentation?<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Because AJAX became a part of standard websites these days. Imagine having a need of reloading the whole page just because your visitor wanted to add a product to cart? Its simply doesn&#8217;t make sense to me.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li><em>What will we learn from your presentation?<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is funny, most people after the presentation look at me as I&#8217;m a freak! \ud83d\ude42 I think its a good start for Woocommerce users to understand how the build in AJAX works with Woocommerce and how they can leverage that.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li><em>What do you like to do when you\u2019re not WordPress-ing?<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In my free time, I like to do a few things. After I got married I stopped playing World of Warcraft (WoW), because at that time I was a freelancer and as we all know freelancers barely have any free time. So it was simple if I play WoW then my wife would make me wash the dishes. It&#8217;s a good strategy to save an addict \ud83d\ude42 These days I try to get as much free time as possible so I can play with my son and two dogs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Few words for the WordPress Bucharest community<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It will be a pleasure for me to give a presentation at the WordCamp in Bucharest and I hope you&#8217;ll enjoy my talk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Want to get to meet Mitko and all the other speakers? <a href=\"https:\/\/2018.bucharest.wordcamp.org\/tickets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Get your ticket now<\/a>\u00a0and join us for WordCamp Bucharest.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is our first article in a series dedicated to our speakers.
