“Cooking With BuddyPress” Video Presentation

July 2nd, 2009 in News by Andy Peatling

This year at WordCamp San Francisco I gave a presentation on BuddyPress entitled “Cooking WIth BuddyPress”. The idea was to answer three questions:

What is BuddyPress?
Why should I use BuddyPress?
How do I skin and extend BuddyPress?

The presentation was aimed at both non-technical and technical people and should provide you with a better understanding of what the project is, and it’s potential.
