Mark Zahra and EDD Bookings

Mark Zahra, among other things, recently released the EDD Bookings plugin for Easy Digital Downloads.  I was excited to talk to him about this because it’s something that I thought of doing myself back when I was teaching multiple classes at the University of Scranton. When I was on campus to help manage a fluid schedule for my own office hours, I deemed that project was maybe a little over my head for the amount of time that I had. It’s very cool to see that it’s come to fruition a few years later. Mark also hosts Mastermind.FM and worked over at WP Mayor.

Intro:
Hey everybody. Welcome to episode 95 of How I Built It. Today I’m talking
to Mark Zahra, who among other things recently released the EDD Bookings
plugin for Easy Digital Downloads. Now we’ll get to just about everything
he does in a minute, but I am excited to talk to him about this brand new
plugin. It’s something that I thought of doing myself back when I was
teaching multiple classes at the University of Scranton. When I was on
campus to help manage a fluid schedule for my own office hours, I deemed
that project was maybe a little over my head for the amount of time that I
had. It’s very cool to see that it’s come to fruition a few years later.
So, we’ll get to all of that in a minute. I do want to tell you about the
show’s sponsors. Today it’s brought to you by Pantheon and the Techmeme
Ride Home podcast. You’ll hear about both of them later in the show. I also
want to mention one more time, the HowIBuilt.it/shop. We have T-shirts
available there for your purchase and enjoyment, we also have a mug. The
T-shirts come in a bunch of different colors and sizes, and there is both a
men’s and women’s cut. Definitely check those out if you’d like, over at
HowIBuilt.it/shop. That’s everything for me at the top of the show, you’ll
hear about our sponsors later on. Check out our T-shirts. Without further
ado, on with the show.
Joe Casabona:
Hey everybody. Welcome to another episode of How I Built It, the podcast
that asks, “How did you build that?” Today, my guest is Mark Zahra of EDD
Bookings. Mark, how are you?
Mark Zahra:
I’m good Joe, how are you?
Joe:
I am fantastic. Just saying EDD Bookings is kind of underselling you.
You’re the host of Mastermind.fm, and you do work for WP Mayor, is that
right?
Mark:
Exactly. Mastermind.fm, WP Mayor and WP RSS Aggregator.
Joe:
Nice. Very nice. You have your hand in a lot of different pots,
