Structured Data in WordPress
This talk covers how to use advanced WordPress features like custom post types to store structured data in a way that makes it easier to maintain and better suited to live in new contexts like mobile applications. This page contains a link to a PDF version of the presentation, plus links to download the code I wrote during the presentation and to other resources I mentioned. (I have presented this talk at WordPress Summit 2012 [May 30] and at WordCamp Toronto 2012: Developers [Nov 4].)
