About Session

Gutenberg brings a powerful block editing experience with several default blocks but sometimes we may need to create custom ones. Creating Gutenberg blocks can be a challenging task as it involves writing a lot of code, even for creating a simple testimonial block. Since the process of learning JavaScript and React can be time-consuming, many developers find creating custom blocks quite complicated. Do I really need to learn JavaScript deeply to build blocks? Is there a quicker and simpler way? Well, this is where Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) come to the rescue. In this talk, Imran will demonstrate how ACF blocks feature would help you create blocks in a very simple way.
