The WordCamp Philly 2010 program will be informally divided into two separate tracks:

  • Vedder – User/Blogger/Enthusiast – For those who use, blog with, and generally love WordPress. This track will provide opportunities to learn new things about the software, what it can do for you, and how to make the most of it. See how others rock and roll with WordPress and get first-hand insights on the potential of the software.
  • Springsteen – Developer/Designer/Technologist – For those who dream, work, and play in code, plugin development, system administration, and everything else that makes things do magic tricks. Indulge in some insights on developing better WordPress plugins and deploying like a champion.

NOTE: The “Unconference” track that you see will simply be an open room where attendees can gather for a break or just hang out.
