Object-Oriented Programming and WordPress

Object-oriented programming is ideal in large, complex, and continually maintained projects. It lets you take a huge problem and break it down into solvable chunks. In this course, Gary Kovar covers the benefits of OOP, answers “Why OOP in WordPress?” and how to best connect with WordPress. Gary takes you through a refresher on OOP PHP syntax, takes a deep look at architecture concepts, shows you what OOP is not good for, simple wins with OOP, and team benefits. He also provides multiple real-world examples of OOP and WordPress—including building a plugin using what you’ve learned in the course. If you have some experience with OOP—and some frustration—check out this course to learn how you can use it to your benefit when creating WordPress plugins.
