  • JSJS JavaScript, a web scripting language typically executed in the browser. Often used for advanced user interfaces and behaviors. style, structure, and design patterns, and what new code should look like
  • JS unit testing, including candidate frameworks and where to start

Actions are functions performed when a certain event occurs in WordPress. Filters allow you to modify certain functions. Arguments used to hook both filters and actions look the same.

  • Which JS-heavy features need eventual iteration (often “version 2”)
  • What action items could be done for WP 3.7 and 3.8
