In the final part of the Building Reactive WordPress Plugins series across on the Delicious Brains blog, I explore using Elm rather than JavaScript to write the front end of WP Cron Pixie, the small WordPress dashboard widget for showing what’s in the WordPress cron.

I had more fun writing the code for this article than any other in the series. I hope you enjoy reading it and maybe it gets you thinking about trying out Elm for your next web frontend.

In part 2 of my Building Reactive WordPress Plugins series on the Delicious Brains blog I swap out Backbone.js for the most awesome Vue.js to handle the frontend functionality.

I’m writing a short series for Delicious Brains on building reactive style frontend WordPress plugins. Part 1, which uses Backbone.js on the frontend, just went live.

This first article is rather long as it introduces the plugin and its backend as well as how to use Backbone.js. Follow up articles should be shorter as each one will concentrate on building the frontend with a different technology, and won’t deal with the backend so much.
