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.
