Armchair WordCampers: Get your 1UP on Day 2 of @WordCampOrlando w/ @rkoffy @jpetersen @josh412 @syedbalkhi @jeriklindgren @propelnow #wcorl

#wcorl brunch: when half-asleep people + mimosas = interesting conversation.

The #wcorl after party summary: so much food, not enough antacids.

Day one of @WordCampOrlando is down. Taking the IV of coffee out of my arm. #wcorl

Very impressed with the theme and branding of @WordCampOrlando this year. #wcorl

If you aren’t validating database queries in your code, then your quality and safety levels are at “Taco Bell” levels. @topher1kenobe #wcorl

Like the DMV, regular expressions are slow, painful, but required (in the context of data validation). @topher1kenobe #wcorl

WordPress validation functions: esc_html() esc_attr() esc_from_new_york() @topher1kenobe #wcorl

If you code in WordPress and don’t know about data validation, stop coding now and read: codex.wordpress.org/Data_Validation #wcorl

If you haven’t looked at @markjaquith github page, slap yourself… …then go look at his >60 repos. github.com/markjaquith #wcorl
