The Ultimate Guide To Object-Oriented PHP

The Ultimate Guide To Object-Oriented PHP

Darcy Wheeler 3.2.2017

What makes WordPress so flexible is thanks to the fact that it’s written in two languages: PHP and JavaScript. PHP, for one, is the most popular programming language in the world, powering 84 percent of all websites. Even though PHP has an easy entry barrier, advanced techniques are not always the easiest to learn.

If you’ve been struggling with PHP or are looking to level up your skills, the first step in this process is learning object-oriented programming (OOP). OOP is a style of coding groups with related actions into classes to aid in creating more compact and effective code.

The following ebook, written by WordPress developer Josh Pollock, will arm you with what you need to level up in Object-Oriented PHP:

The Ultimate Guide To Object-Oriented PHP For WordPress Developers

This ebook includes in-depth information on the following:

  • PHP in a REST API world
  • PHP fundamentals
  • WP_Query
  • Visibility in Object-Oriented PHP
  • Class inheritance
  • How to use asynchronous PHP in WordPress
  • PHP magic methods
  • Namespaces
  • Improving your development workflow with Composer
  • Using a class autoloader to improve WordPress development
  • PHP design patterns for WordPress developers

As WordPress continues to grow in popularity, PHP is here to stay. By learning object-oriented programming, you’ll be able to utilize classes to organize the data and structure of an application to make your code more flexible and less redundant. Check out the ebook now to get started on equipping yourself with the skills you need to level up as a PHP developer.
