I also develop in WordPress, themes and plugins. Most of the time I am also good at making pasta, it depends on ingredients available and how much I am not lazy! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many languages do you speak?<\/strong><br \/>\nI speak Serbian, English and a little bit of German.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What was your first encounter with WordPress?<\/strong><br \/>\nI was working at my previous company, and one day they just said &#8222;Listen, we have one project, it&#8217;s nothing hard&#8220;. I liked it, and from then on, I am happy with it. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the best WordPress advice you have ever received?<\/strong><br \/>\n&#8222;Keep it updated&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your motivation to speak at WordCamp Sofia 2017?<\/strong><br \/>\nTo share my experience and to support the WordPress community grow. I am always willing to help people when in need and I am glad if someone took interest purely on that. And of course, to meet with some old and new friends \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you you choose the topic of your talk?<br \/>\n<\/strong>I was always interested in mobile applications, and I was looking for a way to cover both iOS and Android when building something, so one day I discovered cross-platform framework that do that. Code-once\/run anywhere is my choice whenever possible.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong>What is you favorite movie?<\/strong><br \/>\nThere are many, but let&#8217;s say for now &#8222;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0113277\/\">Heat(1995)<\/a>&#8222;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Aleksandar will talk about\u00a0<a class=\"wcpt-session-title\" href=\"https:\/\/2017.sofia.wordcamp.org\/session\/going-native-with-the-wordpress-api\/\">going native with the WordPress API<\/a>, which might be interesting for anybody who needs to build a cross-platform iOS\/Android mobile app to access the WordPress API.
