This is a “Developer Session” as noted on the official blog, but I think the comittee should also informed that this is for Beginner, as the info discussed in this session is a quick introduction on the WordPress platform as I have noted below :

• WordPress is built in PHP/My SQL and licensed under the GPL
   
• It is an Open Source project which means there are hundreds of people all over the world working on it
   
• Since WordPress using PHP as server scripting languange, it will easily customized by the developer
   
• PHP in Brief :
  - It is a scripting languange originally designed for producing dynamic web pages and created by Rasmus.
  - The main implementation of PHP is now produced by the PHP group
    
• WordPress Structure :
  - wp-admin
  - wp-content
  - wp-incudeds
   
• The advantage of above structure :
  It will separate the core of the application and the template for the modification
   
• wp-admin
  It is the administrator site, it stores files for managing
   
• wp-includes
  - core application and classes for running the wp application
  - no necessary to change unless big customization
  - a change will change the whole code
   
• wp-content
  - plugin and themes, the place for the customizaton
  - plugin directory contains all files for storing
  - an update will only change the themes and plugin itself
   
• Buiding themes
  - stored in wp-content directory but we can have many themes stored in directory
  - themes directory split the files into header, footer, comment, sidebar file to included
  - automatically shown in admin
   
• Building plugin
  - stored in wp-content directiory and will contains as many plugin as installed
  - script itself can be just one file or one subdirectiry if it’s complex
  - plugin located on this directory can automatically shown in admin but still need to activated
