From currying to closures there are quite a number of special words used in JavaScript. These will not only help you increase your vocabulary but also better understand JavaScript. Special terms are normally found in documentation and technical articles. But some of them like closures are pretty standard things to know about. Knowing what the word itself means can help you know the concept it's named for better.

The WordPress Customizer is an interface for drafting changes to content while previewing the changes before they are saved. This is an alternative to the "save and suprise" model of changing settings without knowing what exactly will happen.
The customizer can be accessed in the admin interface under Appearance > Customize.
#19909 is the trac ticket that introduced the Customizer during the 3.4 release cycle.

# Fact: you don't want WordPress core files, or your server-specific | |

This tutorial walks through setting up AWS infrastructure for WordPress, starting at creating an AWS account. We'll manually provision a single EC2 instance (i.e an AWS virtual machine) to run WordPress using Nginx, PHP-FPM, and MySQL.
This tutorial assumes you're relatively comfortable on the command line and editing system configuration files. It is intended for folks who want a high-level of control and understanding of their infrastructure. It will take about half an hour if you don't Google away at some point.
If you experience any difficulties or have any feedback, leave a comment. 🐬
Coming soon: I'll write another tutorial on a high availability setup for WordPress on AWS, including load-balancing multiple application servers in an auto-scaling group and utilizing RDS.

This is a simplified showcase of how you can easily build your own Optin form in WordPress.
It can connect to any API that supports cURL (most of them do). There is no error reporting implemented. It uses exit intent detection script called Ouibounce, which needs to be enqueued in your functions.php

// Set the error logging to only log fatal errors | |
error_reporting( E_ERROR ); | |
// Optional: change the location of your error log, it might be wise to put it outside your WP content dir. | |
// If you don't change it, the default place for this log is debug.log in your WP_CONTENT_DIR. |
