    One of my favorite ways to figure out how I’m going to write a specific method, particularly when the architecture is complex, is to write the signature first. Example – I’m working on a Question & Answer section for PressCademy right now, and I needed to a method to get both the question and answer.

    The answer to the question involves some abstraction layers and just enough complexity that I couldn’t quite make sense of it.

    Curious enough – this post is already a little outdated now that blocks.json is a thing, It’s still good to know how to register the script and styleesheet without the JSON schema.

    Sometimes it makes more sense to enqueue it manually.

    Just finished my webinar with the the learn team. We built a basic block in the block editor, and covered a lot of ground. Many people asked for the recording, which I don’t have that, but I do have a recording of the same talk done with @GoDaddyPro:
